nicely done John, I don't think I;ve seen these before either. I prefer the softer lighting of the original.

Excellent behavioural images. I prefer the first post's more natural look.

Hi John. Nice shot.
I'm not sure which one I do like most. The first one seems to be a little to greenish. The second one misses the soft "touch" so to say.
But a great shot en compo.

I wanna be awkward and so lighting between the two would be just about right !?
