I know, not yet the weather for it...this is one from Wales earlier in the year that I'd overlooked.
I took it in Snowdonia, around Cader Idris, one morning with a touch of frost.
The water is a bit overdone but I needed the depth of field; the polariser added around a stop too. I rather liked the composition through the Canon 10-20mm.

Zig, do you remember the aperture you used? The DOF of such wide lenses is usually deep to begin with, so I'm surprised you needed to slow it down so much.

I do like the photo, but I'm still not sure about the effect of slow shutter speeds blurring out plants. I've been looking at some of my own long exposures and can't say that I care for them very much.
Looks kind of etheral Zig - but I think a bit less blur would help the image.
Sorry for the late reply here;
yes, I'm inclined to agree chaps.
I remember thinking that I wanted the moss and the oak leaves on the path in focus..also, that fern is very small...I was lying on the ground freezing in a little dip in the ground and only a couple of feet from the moss/leaves: pretty sure I went at least f.16.
