too bad about the shadows on the chest but I like the head turn and compo. Great shot under these circumstances

cheers, Dennis

Great eye contact, the light makes it quite 3D, nice one.

Very nice shot. The light makes it quite special.

Very unusual looking light but great detail on the head with the catchlight really lifting the eye.

Nice one, you have made the best of the harsh lighting conditions to produce a good result.

Difficult lighting conditions, but handled very well.

This individual looks familiar Graham

Nice comp and well controlled on the light - for a Canon

'Course, with a Nikon it would be a breeze

Thanks guys - much appreciated

I know wish I had colonies like the one at Bempton much closer to home. I'd be there every weekend if I did
