Michael....I humbly apologise for my previous comment. Hang my head in shame. Mistaken identity. And yes it's a fab pic.....

The use of Photoshop Express is extremely effective, Michael - might be worth mentioning in the comments so people know how it was achieved?

Absolutely superb palette and painting Michael.
