That’s a super photo, Padraig.
The mix of colours works very well, especially the tones in the background.

Nice one.

Tom.

Thanks everyone. I had this picture in my head for a couple of weeks and it all came together this afternoon- the pose, the light, the catchlight in the eye, the background. Its a pity it doesn’t happen too often. I took over 160 photos and this was the 12th and the one I was after.
