I like this comp but its a bit "dull", it needs the shadows pulling back and I think it will improve the shot, shame you have cropped the rhs legs.

Cheers Graham, I'm afraid the shot was taken in a rush hand held, hence the missing leg, the water on it's eye is the first spots of rain from the thunderstorm that followed, so as you can imagine the light was very poor, good job it was only a few yards to the car

Have you had a look over at Flickr Graham? The DoF is very thin but what is in focus has great clarity and detail, and (seen at the full uploaded size at Flickr) the play of light looks rather good to me. So not so dull to my eye.

Hi Nick, yes I did and even on here the detail is good, I just thought maybe it could have done with a little boost.

This better for the leg Graham, I've merged the next shot in the burst of three I took , the third being out of focus was no good, but second one did get the full leg in view but not as sharp as the first one

Ah well, that's lots better, it doesn't matter if something is oof if the main part is in focus. Lovely recovery [emoji106]
