Really like this one Derek... particularly the choices you've made both pre and post re selective lighting...

Very striking and very effective.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Cheers guys, I had hoped to catch him getting a drink, but he didnt stay, the overhanging trees provided a shady spot with just a little bit of early sunlight getting in. Not my usual forte as I have an unhealthy penchant for detail, and at that distance, detail is lacking, But I knew as soon as i saw him landing what the shot would look like.
I do quite like this myself,
so cheers again
Derek

I know what i like, If not always why.
