Yes, quite funny set where many shots
have a yellow cast, tweaking the WB, I

So you keep repeatedly saying , if you don't like my style don't bother looking at them, I'm not going to change them

If you find them offensive to your vision then I will happily remove them and refrain from posting any further pictures,
But perhaps just ignoring my future posts would be better for us both

Bugger! I never heard that, thinking about it, when I was up there a few weeks ago, the smallest one looked to big to be Max, but never really gave it much thought after that

I thought that was Max and there was another smaller one which I believe was the youngest Sam ?
