Thankyou for all your encouragement, everyone - I was pleased that this one turned out (the only one of many!).
Thankyou, Andy, for your suggestions - I totally agree with them and will do as you suggest.
My 31 year old son plays hockey and coaches a junior team here in Australia - whilst we were busily touring Canada (he was so jealous!) in May this year (hence this photo) he managed to have a freak encounter with a hockey puck and ended up with a depressed fracture (in 4 places) of his cheek bone ..... and has lost feeling on that side of his face .... he wasn't even on the ice. Fast and furious best describes this game!
