What a wonderful shot, Jeroen. Nice warm colours and very well composed. :smile: :smile:

that's nice Jeroen. I think I'd prefer a slight crop off the bottom and off the left, but still works well as it is.

Stunning colours and light Jeroen and a pleasure to view. Think I maybe tempted to crop a littlle from the LHS as the dark grasses pull the eye a bit. Still a wonderful scene.

As Craig highlights, your PoV on this shot is very creative and effective - must put htat one in the memory banks for later use.

Cheers,
Chris
