They say you are only ever 10 feet away. But try and see one.....
Its a nice study .But the BG looks awefully noisy and the clone job to the twig could have been better.

Agree, had not noticed how botched that looked

Here is a repost

I like this a lot, I think the pose works really well and the eye contact is fantastic

Not sure if you would allow a rework , if not I'll delete it .As I'd have done it.

Quality portrait and I like the way the green background frames him, nice.

Lovely portrait - I can't see the aforementioned cloning. Agree a little noise reduction would help.

A great shot Peter. I think I prefer Marks crop as the left hand side of the image doesn't really enhance the picture.

Very nice shot Peter

I would not let Mark ( Granny Basher ) Davies loose with it though

I love the shot. Love the subject but wouldnt want it near my house, all three versions look good for me but can see cloning in first.
