Just had to record some actual sunshine and countryside that wasn't frozen!

Lacks some foreground interest, but...

All comments very welcome.

Nice light and colour, I agree Gareth re. experimenting with a crop

No reflection on your image here but when it comes to portrait I'm not a fan of the 3:2 aspect ratio, I much prefer 4:3

Nice image, but I also think a crop would be the way to go. I would lose all the the shrubbery at the bottom, and just concentrate on the vertical lines of the trees.

Greytop I also think 3:2 is too tall and thin when in portrait orientation. PS Thanks for a brief mention of your Redsnapper tripod in another thread recently, I just bought one based solely on that (and the great price) and I couldn't be happier

No problem Tim, I'm happy you came to same conclusion

Thanks for the comments guys. Have cropped to try the abstract look, but I don't think it works too well. What it needed was some foregroubd interest because I agree that the bushes in this foreground is weak.

I agree Ken, perhaps some more of that path way to the right :

Guys, this was the first one I took which has much better composition, but the exposure was poor - slower shutter speed.

Yes Ken I like that, the path certainly adds a bit of interest
