Love the golden tones of the BG on this one, Geoffrey. This looks so good when viewed large, it's a superbly detailed shot.

Thanks guys

Yes Rob, I live in a steep sided valley which is only a few hundred yards wide, the BG here is the South facing mountain on the opposite side, lit by the sunlight.
