I do like it when a landowner is helpful, but you seem to have managed to take it to extremes! If this first effort is anything to go by, you should do well here.

Good sharp image. Slightly unusual angle I thought.

Nice, interesting pose and angle, lovely smooth background.

A nice image, you did well to hold the highlights in what appears to be quite harsh lighting.

If you could send your farmer down this way there are a few spots that I would be happy to find a hide when I get to them!

Did you clone something out in the background as there seems to be a darker smudge bottom centre left?

Very nice! Hope the hide has central heating for the arctic weather that's coming!
