Still a bit tight along the bottom frame edge Jeff :wink:

Well caught roar Jeff and I love the 'column' of breath, it reminds me of a fire eater whose flame has gone out! However, I will say it looks a little 'washed out' on this screen. Perhaps a touch more contrast and saturation?

The repost is much better, Jeff. I like the "cloud" of breath very much. Nice image. :wavey:

Great shot that, one I would love to have taken. The breath finishes it off nicely.

Repost is better, looks like he's having a "Hamlet moment" :wink:
Well captured.

Geoff.
