That's a cracking shot, really bright and punchy colour. Good job!

Thanks Jim.

I'd love to reply that I used some really clever technique. In reality, I used a single speedlite and took lots and lots of shots holding the flash in different positions. I then chose the shot that gave the effect I wanted, which was to make it look warm and 'alive'.

[shotokan101]

Thanks - and it definitely worked so don't knock it !
