Hi John,

It's a cracker!

Yep, its a super shot John, and different from the norm.

Seems like a slow shutter speed for that aperture/iso, and the lighting conditions, although always difficult to judge light intensity on screen.

Thanks
Would be nice to get one of these in the pool. Unlikely though.
Taken late afternoon, in early March. Awful day
