Very nice! I've not seen one either. Nice negative space at top for magazine title.

Not commonly captured by the camera, so you did well to get an image of this quality. An excellent shot, hope you also got it in landscape.

Good ground job Phil but in my opinion, it needs a lot more space on the left.And some off the top. There is some blotching in the background but I reckon thats with the down sizing. I have the same problem.
Cheers

An unusual background Phil and perfect for the subject. A striking image.
