Not the target for Saturday Morning but you can't look a gift horse in mouth or can you!

I feel there's a great picture in here, if you could darken the background a little and maybe blurr it too.
I like this. just how you see them.

I agree with John that the background is too dominant, but love the subject.

I am still getting to grips with Photo-manipulation, so am probably not the best person to comment on this topic, but try a layer mask if you have Photoshop (don't know the equivalent in other packages). Darken the mask and then brush through the parts you want darker.

Good luck, and great capture.

Welcome Calum, great to see you posting on here!

Looks better compared to a previous posting.

The light does seem to be a tad harsh IMHO, but as you say you can't look a gift horse... Well seen & captured.

Welcome on the forum Calum. I agree with John's comment but still a nice image.

Hi Calum, Nice pose and compo, but agree with the others about the BG.

Thank you all for the comments, just the advice I was after. I'm no photshop expert but I will try the suggestions and see if I can do it justice.

Thanks once again
