Hi,

One from Saturday crawling about on the shingle, certainly got a few images to make the scrapes and bruises worth while. Tony and myself found that it was possible to get very close indeed....

All the best

Lovely, sharp image, and a nice background. The low POV has worked well here.

Beautiful image Phil! Lovely subtle colours! Full frame too, so I can't say it's a wee bit tight to the left, can I. :wink:

Lovely picture with warm colours. I'm not quite sure about the tight crop at the tail though. I think a little more space (if possible) would be nicer. :smile:

Superb! Agree a little more space for tail, but that's minor. I'd love to see this one bigger.

A fine portrait Phil, the pose is great as are the colours.

Nicely done Phil, a little tight on the left for me too.

That'll do nicely.. Really nice detail and love the warm colours of this one.. A touch more space as mentioned but a very nice encounter nonetheless..

Rather large in the frame for me, and I would consider removing the soft stones in the foreground.
