Bloody hell, mate - thanks so so much. That means the world from you :) This was definitely one of those days when everything aligned - I've been waiting all autumn and winter for this conditions! But thanks too for the kind words about the compositions - it's something I've been working on this year, and it means a lot that you picked up on it.
Many thanks again!
Absolutely Kieran! I've come back to this post about 5 times in the last two days to just look at these shots again. You hit a home run as far as I'm concerned
