Leo, I see you came in second. Great shot. It was one of my favourites. You won with the leaf and leather shoe too! You are on a roll. What an excellent set of results so close together :-).

Neil.

Hi Leo,
Nothing was removed. I just burned the background in till it was more or less black. It was rather distracting as it was. I dodge and burn on most of my photos and don't consider it to be major post processing :-) .
Thanks, Neil.
