Ashdown gorse

I was out riding in the rain and the hail today, but still parked up on the journey home to take the camera for a wander on the edge of Ashdown (I was already soaked).

This was probably my first proper attempt at using the auto/manual focus combination on my camera, the auto does the bulk of the work then the manual is used for fine tuning - I think the results were much sharper than my autofocused only frosted flowers shot. Editing of the RAW was actually done by my boyfriend Gareth (his first go at Lightroom) so I can't take credit for that :)
