Mission accomplished.

I set out today with the express purpose of getting a shot like this 'cos I wanted to try out a few effects that I've been learning. Problem is, we don't have many woods around here.
I took loads of shots with different settings but as often happens, the first shot was the best.
Still, the day wasn't wasted, I had a very enjoyable ramble around the Valley, met a few people I know, heard some gossip that I didn't know, and enjoyed the Springlike weather.
I am now enjoying my second can of cider after my self enforced abstinence. Hello old friend.
