Well that is really good.

[Trev B]

I like that, something a bit different.

[Bill53]

Nicely done.

Nicely different. A well exposed contra jour image and well composed.

If I may suggest, it may benefit from just a hint more shadow detail. I have had a play in photoshop and there is lots of detail available, but it only needs a hint. I can post my results if you wish.

Thanks for the comments all. Wasn’t, sure whether it would work. Colin - please do post, always interested in others views.

Nice shot Guy, though I do prefer Colin's.

Nice shot Guy, though I do prefer Colin's.

I agree with this what Brian said ^.

It looks good, Colin's edit makes it better, for me there had to be at least a hint of a view of the eye. These sort of shots I find very difficult, so well done

Excellent shot. the edit does look a tad better.

[Swanny48]

I also think the edit improves the original.

John

[Colin W]

I too agree, the edit has improved the photo.

Colin, Thanks for the edited upload. What did you do, just lift the shadows? The edge highlights look brighter/whiter? Was this done in photoshop or lightroom?

Thanks

Guy
