That's a lovely shot, Andrew. The composition, lighting and visual impact are just magic. I love it.

Kind regards, Bob

Lovely - just shows, it's not so much the camera, but the person using it!

In this instance, David, but it seems to require good light, low ISO and negative exposure compensation. Point and shoot? Hmmm.
