Lovely light on a cracking frame filler. Very complimentary background as well.
Very nice indeed Jeroen.

a great shot. I've never worked at the sort of focal lengths you used here (my max is 400x1.6 = 640) but I imagine this must have been very difficult to keep in the viewfinder! Lovely warm colours too.
