like it, very emotive and familiar, the image to me has a friendly feel, I think because of that jug :) Although I have to say the contrast and brightness of the background keeps drawing me out to it and seems to defocus a lot from the subject. Maybe darken this area will dampen this affect. just my tuppenybit.

Hi Chris- did you put the blur on later?

Nope, the blur is a consequence of the f-stop and 100mm focal length I shot at.

That says everything about the wonderful finish of the route.
