  • Would not want to get too close to that! Great composition.

  • Nice and prickly sharp. The colour contrast is wonderful.

  • To be perfectly honest I think the color is a bit too punched up. It's a strong image with a great subject with a lot of detail and a nice, out of focus background. To me the strength of the color distracts from that. But the base photo you have is great.

  • I thought that a bit too, but it was the colours I was really going for with this shot. The original was actually quite grey-green and I wanted to make it really stand out. Overcooked, perhaps.

  • Well, not too much so. This is only opinion of course but it's only a very slight adjustment away from taking the next step. "Overcooked" I think would be an overstatement.
