Another beauty! I love that stare. Not sure about the colour balance - looks a little blue, but hard to tell when you weren't there.

Hi Ian,
Not sure how accurate the colour balance is, but it was certainly very late in the evening, almost at dusk if I remember correctly.

I really like everything about this shot Justin, (except the lack of room for virtual feet!) colours, pose and atmosphere are all there and very nice indeed.

Hi Justin

They look pretty scruffy at this time of the year but still a very nice image!

I like the image but have to agree with Ian, it looks a touch blue on here. Just a minor nit.

Works for me Justin. Does look a bit 'cold' but that's minor nit :toast:

Thanks for the comments about the colour temperature. I've added an 85 warm-up filter in Photoshop to give a little more warmth. I prefer the warmer version after seeing them side by side.

Much prefer the second one Justin :toast:
