Hey first class, that's got to be a winner, every Scottish tourist office should have a copy. I'd do something with the catch light in the right eye as it makes it look odd.

Hello Philip,
Made me laugh!!! I thought it was Bill Oddie!
Agree with Tim about the eye (although, if you leave it in, it is definitely Bill Oddie)

Cheers,
Roy

Hi Phillip

I think you were just 'kidding' when you said you had trouble getting motivated :wink: - nice shot!

Many thanks for the comments, guys.
David, I really was having trouble, so I took the advice from here and set myself a target of some seal images - it seems to have been a good idea :smile: .
I can honestly say that I have learnt more from comments and helpful critique from this site than from any books or tuition videos.
Thanks again
Phil :wavey:

My best laugh of the day! The eye reflection makes me think it looks like a corpulent army-type wearing a monocle :wink:
