i like it. though white helmet and white background means some of the effect is lost a bit, for me. good though. (title's not great either, IMO!)

Really like some of your pics but this one not so much - don't really have any constructive comment to offer either, sorry. 🙂

thanks grum, photography is all about opinions so it's cool if you don't like it. Thanks for looking through some more of my photos though 🙂

Nae bother. Yeah I have you as a contact on flickr. I really like the Paternoster Square shot and some of your landscapes/seascapes. And I'm very jealous of your aurora shots 🙂

i like the way the full face merges with the beard!

considering the title it might have worked with a smile instead of a stern face?

i like it 🙂

Yeah! That was a right coincidence. I'd browsed your photos about 5 mins before, then saw that ad and the fingers pic leapt out at me!

I agree about the stern face.
For me, it would have worked better centred, because of the line of symmetry in the image.

Thirds don't work quite as well for me, when there's clear symmetry.

Just my 2p

I have always wanted to try a shop like this, but i'm crap at photoshop.

I'm sure Cannondale or Fizik did an advert like this ages ago! But half was a chap in a suit, the other half cycling gear. I'll try and find it...

Not on the one, but like this:

Thanks for all the comments guys! I see what you mean about the symmetry and thirds. Might try it again with people's opinions on board 🙂
