Well done, Ed - that image really does capture the feeling of a hot summer day!

Cheers.

Well done, Ed. To capture the only summer's day Scotland had, was inspired!

Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".

Thanks all. Taking the time to comment is appreciated.
Lucky shot, did not see at first.
This is taken from the same spot, 18mm, and only noticed it when I zoomed in, 200mm. Prior to taking the 2 views, I was fortunate? to ascertain the fence on the left, was electrified!!! Ed.
