This is a lovely composition, something out of nothing, and I mean that in a positive way.

Thanks both.

Interesting that you guessed it was mine, Paul. There was a thread running about distinctive styles...
Best wishes,

Andrew

I like the sparkle-like brilliant lights on the tree and the contrasting foreground of this super shot!

Thanks everyone. This was a rare decent shot that day. Wide sweeping vistas don't always make the best pictures.
Best wishes,

Andrew

what an amazing BW - the perfectly positioned tree with the nice dark contrast in front of the bright background and perfect focus. Really strong piucture
