    Thanks for the comments.

    What the picture doesn't show is that he was stood on a tightrope whilst playing hs fiddle bowdown.gif

    The grimace is as much about keeping his balance as getting into his music rolleyes1.gif

    So why didn't you show that? I mean, it's a good shot and all, but the other is a lot more unusual. headscratch.gif

    Hmmm - I was in two minds whether to mention that as I thought I might get that reaction !

    I was also conscious of Rutt's comment on my last photo about getting closer, much closer !

    I'm happy with the shot as it stands but if it was part of a PJ series then I'd be looking to include some wider shots as well.

    This looks like one to re-visit..............
