Lovely light there. I've heard Mr R mention Red5 before and I think you certainly got your share of it here :toast:

Such contrasting colours captured beautifully Dave.. Taken that first light to the extreme to create a really nice image.

Father Christmas must have been busy cos I got the same book as well, reminds me of my aims when I used to shoot landscapes with an old yashica 124G, spent ages sat on hill tops waiting. With wildlife, for me, it tends to be am I close enough and is their enough light.

Anyway great shot, love the light on the vegetation. Shot in the UK?
