John

I like this - great colours. Tiny picky point - a little bit of halation at the edges of the arms, but this may be compression (but I can see it in the larger version)

Quite right... Peter... I was probably a little overenthusiastic with the sharpening... I would redo it, but probably spent half an hour cloning out the background of that one and stupidly did not save the PSD file... :oops:

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that forgets to save the PSD and I'm impressed with your work removing the background. I just figured it was against a blue sky.

It was against a blue sky Peter... There was just a bit of distracting background in the blue rectangle under the arm on the left of the photo... there was also a lamppost on the top right... BTW... The reason for the strange angle is that she / he was walking on stilts...
