Yeh sorry. Was not sure about the crop on this, it is about 70 of original. I wanted it off centre but that just looked odd. Thoughts?

7D, 700mm, ISO800

The way it is looking at you, centre is just fine imo.

I agree with David. With that direct stare it just has to be centred. I like the way the background gives an almost painterly effect and darker strip of background at the top gives it some depth.
Another top notch shot Neil. :toast:

Very nice Neil. The centred comp works nicely with the eye contact as David and Robert mention. Superb photo. :toast: :toast: :toast:

Hi Neil :wavey:

not need to apologise for a Shorty shot :smile:

Really nice with a mean stare and good background, excellent work.

The comp works fine for me too. Great image and the eyes really grab your attention. You may have had probs with the 7D focusing but you certainly got the images!

Beautiful image, love the composition, is this where I said Neil or your own place? The composition is spot on for me :wink: :wink: :wavey:

Thanks all. Happy about the comp. This was another spot Craig, not the famous Lincolnshire one either. But I am happy to share if people ask.
