Thank you for your comments, much appreciated.

Yes next time I will sort out the shadows by moving the angle of the flash, I agree that the shadow is a little distracting.

I know that it is normal practice to leave a bit of chin in there, but thought I would try something different. Thank you for your opinions. (apologies for not responding sooner, but for some reason I hadn't clicked the subscribe to thread option, so missed the replies!)
