Looks like the original price is gone now (sold out ?), but £582 is still not too shabby.

Great capture, great action, and what a great lens

The first one is very good. It looks like you used a soft focus lens

I was always told to photograph flowers on cloudy days to avoid harsh shadows. But the beauty of a bright sunny one is that you get the lovely blues of the skies.

The second one for me please Bill

2 and 5 for me please.

Lovely set.

Happy times, and as HRH said, we will all meet again. Just have patience my friends.

Nigel, I had another look at this image and it certainly has a "painterly" feel to it. On reflection I believe I was wrong to think it was too dark overall. I took the liberty of doing some selective dodging and burning to emphasise the trunks in the foreground and darken the background even more so as to emphasise the former. Let me know what you think.

On opening the image I noticed immediately it has no colour profile at all. On any browser without colour management (and even some with) will not display the image correctly due to this. Perhaps you need to look at your workflow to amend this.

Anyway here is my edited version in sRGB colour space......
