Much better than anything I have major, but my eye keeps wnting it more to the left somehow. No big deal though.

Know what you mean John. The image is slightly unbalanced but I think it still works somehow.
If I churn this out as a card my customers will love. They will not know the difference.

Beautiful Major, greatly enhanced by the reflected light bouncing up from the snow (I assume).
In a word, stunning!

Hi Major,

All been said, a cracker! The reflected light on the owl against that bg is superb.

Cheers,

Lewis.
