    Good comp and an interesting shot Erich. thumb.gif I would have stepped down the exposure a tad, some of the highlights look blown.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    This is an unusual catch, Eric. Poppies and GBH in one shot!!! Good catch. I like that everything is on a slant....different direction as well! :D

    Thanks for the comments! I went back and toned down the highlights a bit and smoothed out the background a bit.

    The contrast with the poppies is what I liked about this shot and the way the GBH's neck extended to match the slant of the hill....

    Cheers,

    Erich
