Very nice shot Graham with a very complimentary BG, do you have any more room at the bottom, think it needs a bit more to balance the shot.

Cracking light in this shot Graham, and a nice comp to boot.

Could perhaps do with a little more sharpening and as Andy S. mentions, it could do with a bit more room at the bottom.

But it's a nice capture none the less :wavey: :wavey:

Great shot, I like the low POV, lack of space at the bottom doen't really bother me.

Looks like he's lining a goal kick up like Jonny Wilkinson :biggrin:

Really like this Graham, my only nit (and its not a big one) is that a smidge more DOF would have bought all of the ear tufts into focus. More a personal thing than anything.
