Great image Pete. You may have got away with being a little closer still.
Love the transition of reflection. There is a little bit of stray reflection on the left (is this you buddy!?)

But its a nice image either way. Genese has done you proud mate. You owe her some major botty snogs! (figure of speech!)

love the patterns raindrops creates on a surfaces, great shot, try shooting at different angles, and playing with a depth, to give the image soft softness

this is the type of image that software developers would use as a faded BG shot to a product or logo. you could easily turn this into art for desktop on your pC

cracking image..botty snogs..? is the ethos for helping others changing or am i out of date?
