Don,
        The point about foreground clutter is well made by yourself, Ted
Grant and other off list comments. So much for my stab at arty framing. The
flowers are bluebells and the area is wild woodland which explodes with
colour and last only briefly. I may get a chance to re-shoot before they are
gone, if not here are some others I took.

 I do not have anyone that I could share a bottle of wine with at the
location but if you have a number I could call? I have on standby a
cardboard carton of Japanese Beaujolais (type) and I think anyone sampling
it would be amused by its' pretension. Am I classy or what?
        If you cannot suggest anyone to share the moment with I suppose I
could take my
wife. Her size would help bring down the harsh lighting by providing more
shade. The shadow of her arse weighs twenty six pounds :-) Is that
politically incorrect, I'm never sure how that works?
