This is really nice and beautifully executed. I would be tempted to take out the bokeh daff head in the background as I found it distracting. Great picture

. I gave the contrast and saturation a boost, i think i also may have increased the yellows further in hue/saturation in adjustments in photoshop. Thanks Louise.

. After viewing the shot again, i agree with you, it is a bit distracting. Although rather than removing it, i think toning it down/ blending it more into the backgound, might be a better option?. I think removing it completely would leave a lot of space on the left, making the composition more unbalanced. Many thanks for your input Stephen!

I kind of like the bokeh daff, adds depth and perspective to the shot. Beautiful shot either way.

Agree with toning it down.

Removal would throw off the balance.

Brilliant offering.
