Hi All,

Many of you will probably recognise this shot from a series that myself and Rob Howard did a few months back,but I thought I'd share it anyway.

Techs:

D2X , 200-400MM 1.4tc, beanbag, car hide, 1/80th sec at 5.6. Canvas added on top for comp.

C and C welcome.

Regards Chris.

Lovely image, the light, pose and breath just make this shot really special.

I remember them very well and this is no exception. Another great sot from the series.

Hello Chris.

Its a lovely image and one I would love to have.

It works very nicely as is but for me it needs a little more contrast. I have had a little go to see what you think, hope you dont mind.

cracking image Chris but you've heard me say that before, i think Guy's repost does bring out the breath that bit more though

I thought it looked familiar.
An excellent image and Guy's adjustment brings out the best in it.

Thanks for the comments folks.

Cheers Guy- I agree that the repost does look a lot better. Thanks.

I really like this style of shot, and the rework has made it much better. :toast:
