Great stuff, in a good pose too. I'll be off on a jolly to see these stunners in the next few weeks.

I agree with Dave - I'd be rightly proud if this was one of mine.

Yes - but have you looked at Ians next to it? Don't be afraid to say it - I have to live with it - he's beating me into a cocked hat with that 600 lens ..... If he gets murdered I know who the police will look at first esp if I'm cradling the 600 with a mad look in my eye .... its mine (now) my precioussssssssss ............ !!!!

Ian's is certainly a brilliant close up, but you have the classic pose here which I like best!

Oh Chris - my hero!!!! Actually I can see what folks are saying and I do feell a bit better about it - but you know what I'm like - I want shots with so much detail you can count seperate eyelashes - and Ian got that! It was a magical experience tho ... there's something about all that posturing and fizzing noise that is so electric - esp pre dawn when you can hardly see them but can still hear them!

This takes it for me Pauline, colour, depth and more importantly it shows the whole story. The posturing with all the background, the strutting.....full on shot.
Great image.
