Hey everyone, I had to remove this shot from the internet whilst it was a finalist in the Countryfile competition. Now that the competition is over I am pleased to be able to post it back up along with the great news that it was the overall winner! I'm really pleased as you can imagine!! The image not only now has great meaning due to the win but it also reminds me of the great laugh I had with Colin whilst taking it :toast:

Thanks all, really pleased as you can imagine!

Apart from being in the 2008 calendar and the photo going on display at the Linnean Society in London, I also won £1000 worth of Jessops vouchers, which will either fund a 70-200 VR or an 85mm 1.4 :smile:
