    Another nice Wheatear Chris. Your best yet I reckon. Just a nice hint of something in the BG too. Excellent work

    Hi Chris a simple but stunning portrait , love the color palette and the overall high IQ , very well done.
    I can see an option for a 7x5 crop to loose a bit of the dead space on the left .

    TFS Andreas
