Thanks for the offer John (some lovely work on your site btw). I think the
client pics are beyond hope really - I'll send you one off list anyway!

I'll have to ask him to reshoot - don't think his budget will stretch to a
photographer. I'll certainly ask him to use a tripod, low aperture settings
and to check his metering.

Cheers,

Niels
