A good capture Kim if perhaps a little dark (on my monitor at least).

Lovely! Aren't these hard to catch? Looks OK on my monitor, but I think I tend to prefer images a little darker than most seem to.

Hi Kim
Love the expression - agree with Ian it looks OK to me it is just a dark scene as the whites look about right!

Thanks for the comments - yes I think it looks a bit dark too - but I was frightened of blowing the whites if I lightened too much! They are hard to get hold of - they never seem to stay put for more than a few seconds - I probably deleted about a hundred!!
If you use Photoshop try holding down ALT whillst adjusting the blacks and whites in levels, you will see when clipping occurs and just back of a little....

Very nice Kim, as said the whites look fine. Don't see these too often
