Very nice indeed Craig, lovely colours too.

My personal choice would be to have a little less up top and a tad more at the bottom,but then that's me. Nice one.

Lovely job Craig! I agree with Fran about more space below, great colours throughout and comp is spot on.

Cheers,

Lewis.

excellent compositon and nice colours

I like it! I do agree with the cropping suggestions, but that's always personal preference. I'm seeing a little posterisation in the background - my own biggest plague.

Nits covered, good shot all the same, love the colours.

Ditto on the comp, but I really like it as-is.
