Retro Peace

Still playing about with the Takumar 58mm f2 - I spotted this Dove sitting above the sawn tree with the bluebells below, the lighting was fairly strong and from behind, and as the aperture was set at maximum I knew the contrast would be low but with a little processing I'm happy with what looks like a 1970's image

Certainly does have a very retro feel, which is no bad thing. The bokeh artfacts in the top half of the image, when looked at full size, betray a bit of the lens age.
