Thanks For Looking

That's fantastic, Craig.

It changes a somewhat ugly, prehistoric bird into a model in a studio. The irony is great.

There's a well known photographer, I forget his name, who shot a lot of 'sexy' species, leopards etc in a studio to the same effect and this equals if not betters it.

I kinda like it but I feel it works better with a much tighter crop.

Brilliant image, the type I was after but you nailed it!

Very different indeed. A very striking image. Excellent.

Hi Craig,

Nice one, great detail in there. Interested to know what the background is, sky?

Cheers,

Lewis.

Thanks all, it was the sky Lewis

Very nice portrait with great detail.

I think the subject suits B+W very well and makes for a fine shot.
Could do with a thin black line around the image to seperate it from the white page.

Thanks Justin, just never thought of that Cheers

Hello Craig.

Well seen and good use of B/W which suits this image very well.

Good idea ! Everyone will,be at it now !!

I am not a lover of b&w images, but this is really quite something. Very nice indeed Craig.

Craig - I'd still like to see the colour version - the green and yellow's are beautiful.....

Thanks for all your comments, Graham I'll send it you
