Very nice, Dean. Did you have a lot of moisture in the air, or high cloud maybe? The image seems very soft, as if imaged through thin cloud.

Btw, the tif file you posted, is unavailable.

Thanks Wim I took off dew heater in the summer so some dew may have got on to lens. What is your latest project? 

I am struggling to upload tiff file at mo! 😦
