Nice to see an image from you Mick and such a very nice one too. The bright area really sets of a contrast with the darker areas.... it's a real delight

Thanks for all the comments. It's nice to be out imaging again - been a long summer.

Yet another superb image Mick, probably your best yet. POM?

I and the other members of the Lincoln AS imaging group are lucky enough to have Mick as our mentor. Not just a great imager but always willing to offer help and advice.
