About this image

This really stretched my photoshop skills and made me realise just how important image manipulation is, hat’s off to those who excel at this, for me, I’m not trying to be the best just get an image I’m happy with that reminds me of the observing (I run this camera and then get on with the visual observing – imaging is a ‘casual’ happy consequence of going to Kellingheath.)
