Hi Andy,

Fine Art! :biggrin: This would do great hanging in the Tate Gallery as they prefer not to know what it means now as they like students to do a thesis in a 100 years time! When the artist or in this case photographer can't argue! :biggrin:

You're onto a sure winner! :biggrin: for the Turner prize!

Lovely capture by the way - beautifully exposed! :biggrin:

Andy, did you snag your hair on some wire whilst achieving that ultimate shot and being 'green' you removed it and placed it on a heli pad landing zone? :biggrin:
