rotund robin by jantan

rotund robin

think I might have come up with the Hall family Christmas card today.

Trouble is it is so heavily cropped not sure if I will be able to print it large enough, will have to try to work it out.

Later edit:-

Yet another thing learned from being on the 365 project. Searched forums about print size and found a link to this website for calculating optimal maximum print size of an image etc:

http://www.rapidnet.com/~rernster/information_about/print_size_calculator.htm

mine comes up with an optimal maximum print size for a high quality image as 8" x 8" so that should be fine.
Gorgeous!

Wonderful. I'm glad that you can still print it having cropped it. Oh how I long for a longer lens! He is so crisp and clear. And chubby! Fluffed up against the cold I like to think!
