Looks like it was shot on Fomapan 400:wink: Apart from the bright area on the wood I think it works quite well, is that the wood you were getting delivered:?:

Stunning!

Superb capture Yve

I've never seen a goldfinch here but this certainly cheers me up Put some Niger seed out David, you wont be able to get rid of them:D Tremendous shot Ken, dull and dismal my a*** Is this with the 300mmDA ?

Nice capture, superb exposure, great detail in the feathers.

gorgeous sky, and not a jet trail in sight.

I thought I recognized that bit of grass on West Cliff:D I would clone out the boat on the left and crop on all sides by about a quarter width of the grass. PS wheres the snow?

Is this Whitby Gary?

I quite like this but there are a couple of things that spoil it (for me at least) The girls left eye looks....awkward, and I would like to have seen all of the pupil in her right eye. Apart from this I think its a great shot, the lighting really suits the shot, perhaps a tighter crop removing all of the background would focus even more attention on that eye and so make it look intentional???

no her first time just guided by me. In that case remind me to pick your brains about studio work when we next meet:D
