Well time shot Paul and i like the composition, is that what the colours looked like as it looks a bit strange on my comp (might be my comp mind you) or is it compressed alot

 

[grumpybadger]

Thanks all. Neil, I think the colours are about right. I've actually dropped the saturation a little as the crown on the eagle looked very vivid - it was, but I toned it down a little. It's possible lacking in blacks a little due to the falling snow, but that is how it was.
