Sorry Kieth
This might be my gear but it is just not really sharp. Its nearly there but you know what I mean.These are really pigs to get right unless its an ultra close up. Honest response - unless my gear is up the spout. There's probably something wrong with my new monitor.
It needs a little tiny bit left rotation too.
Cheers

It looks sharp enough for this resolution on my screen Keith.

Great angle of view and strong eye contact. I wish they were visiting my pool and I'd settle for just one !

Cheers

Austin

Maybe a tad less saturation might make it better or a tad more light, I have a low quality monitor but it doesn't look right on mine either. Love the subject though and the composition is good for me. :toast:
