Nicely composed, with good details. A longer focal length would give you a simpler background.

I agree with Tom. I love the detail and wouldn't want to lose any of that, but reducing the background down even further would strengthen the impact by bringing out the subject more.

Hi

I can understand the remarks about a narrower angle of view; but I still think you have used the wide angled lens effectively and crafted a pleasing image. So would a longer lens help, probably but it would not be quite as much fun and it would not have helped with the tonality changes in the backdrop.

I like what you have achieved with the equipment to hand

All the best
Matthew
