I like this photo. But as mattym said, a bit of post processing could really make it stand out. I'm no expert in Photoshop so I'm always looking for practice. I hope you don't mind, I had a play with it. I'm sure mattym can come up with something better. Here's mine anyway.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Tony

I didn't really do much. All I did was adjusted SHADOW/highlight, a bit of hue/SATURATION and USM. Took less than a minute. But as you said it is difficult with the small web image. Need the original. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. Tony
