Taken in the New Forest in the UK. Brackley Lake, off the beaten track nr Fritham .

I was all set up for a 9 sec exposure to ensure the smoothness of the lake when the horse very kindly positioned itself in front of the dark bush. Thankfully it kept still.

It was a dull day and the colour version looked very bland....the file was left on a CF card .....in fact I was going to wipe the card but thought I'd just have a play and see how it looked as a BW.
