Great shot Keith, but needs more space on the right :toast: :wavey:

I agree with Andy, a tad more on the left to get all the tail in would not go amiss either. Still a lovely portrait.

Hi Keith, now that is really good. Colours, DOF and PP look spot on, agree on the added canvas, perhaps your best? :toast: :toast: Keep up the good work, it's the way to go. :wavey:

Stonking red shot on a nice stone seat, agree about RHS. LHS is fine, RE Davids comment, I think those are nuts not the tail.

They are hazel nuts on the left I think and perhaps the pic would work better without them. A bit more on the right and its a belter :wink:

Very nice, though i do agree a more 7 by 5 with space on the RHS comp would be perfect, having said that as i said very, very nice, your friend is lucky to have them in his garden :wavey: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Very nice image Keith but it does need more space to the right to balance out all that dead space to the left. Lovely setting & BG. Very envious! :wink:
