Stunning set Smeggy, enjoyed them all, loved the dog in the hat but then nearly fell of my chair laughing with the last one that's my pick

Love #6, #8, #9 and #10.

As for #15, if I was going to pick a nose it wouldn't be that one, but that dude obviously digs it.

#8, #9, #13, #15 are the stand out ones for me, in a great set.. Shame #1 is a bit tight at the top

#'s 3,4,5 and 8 are my favourites, an excellent set of pictures. #11 is a great shot too.

Number 4 for me. The difference between the two characters makes the shot.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

1 is the only one I don't really appreciate, the rest - especially the dog - are excellent.

Nice set Smegs, looks like it was shot in Rednecksville, Alabama! I think no. 9 is my particular favourite.

Thanks ever so much for the comments and feedback folks

I agree about the top of #1 - Should have zoomed out a bit

Gareth, I've so much to share from these shoots. I've got another 15 or so lined up to post in a few days - don't want to flood the forum too quickly

And also Gareth, shot #4 was just one snap. K-5's dyunamic range is great

I'd like to know where I can get some tyres like #1. It would certainly make parking outside Sainsburys a lot niftier. Come to think of it, it would also be difficult for a Traffic Warden to ticket so I could park outside the bank as well.

Great set,

regards
Bernard
