Yep, the background is somewhat blown, but look at our tourguide in a pensive harbour moment!!

Geoff, as the others have said, a great portrait. The hi key effect on the background and the OOF coat hanger work well too.

Straighten your horizon... j/k, it's a good capture. I do feel it's a touch too light, judging on the transition between Stubbsy's shiny bright forehead to the blown background.

Nice one Geoff.
I think the balance between the background and the subject is great. The Artistic feel of the blown background and out of focus bridge works a treat for me. As for the subject. Nice capture. I'm sure Stubbsy would be happy with it.
OT. Love that new Avitar.
