Impressive image Dale, I would agree that the highlights look a bit on the hot side, but all the same it's a hell of a capture.

Thankyou for all your comments, but many of you have commented on burnt out highlights, I would like to say when your out photographing next, your see burnt out areas on all subjects when looking at them in the sun, it is that im trying to replicate it gives the subject dimention. Everyone thinks this day of digital that the picture should be perfect in lighting and the trouble with that like so many pictures I see today look flat. All I would say is have a look next time your out.
thanks again Dale
