Woah, stonking shot, I might be tempted to crop a touch from the bottom.

Super action caught, I do feel however that the portrait orientation feels a little cramped, here I feel a landscape format may have been more complimentary to the subject, just my opinion...

Perhaps he is showing his contempt towards us photographers? Andrew

Hi Jeroen,

This image is a real treat! It made me laugh as soon as the post opened up. For that I thank you. :toast: :toast: It brightened up a dreary wet and windy day.

The image provokes a response that is positive in the viewers eye i.e. it is out of the norm and funny so IMHO it is an image that really works. I'm sure an ad agency or PR agency would lap this up!

As far as the crop is concerned I would not be concerned over it....it may have been your intention to leave space for any future copy to be added by a publisher anyway... but in any event it is the content that counts. :wink:

Perhaps the next image you post may have a hoof in each ear whilst blowing the raspberry!! :biggrin: :biggrin: :jump: :jump:
