Looks like you had some bright conditions to deal with Mike.

I guess you couldn't get much lower for a better POV ? Not sure if it's down to the 2x, but neither image looks sharp to me, which is shame, because I think this subject and setting has a lot of potential.

Have to agree with Graham re the sharpness, as for the POV, I don't mind it, though the brown stone / leaf draws the eye a touch.

I am afraid that I also have to agree with Graham on the sharpness, especially on the large version.

Thanks guys, I hadn't really twigged the lack of definition - I was drawn by the light, but now I see the slight softness, work in progress !

Very nice capture!

Looking forward to the next one Mike. Is a lower POV possible?
