Nice shot Trevor

By coincidence I posted an image of Ralphs Cross just yesterday; not quite as colourful as yours though

Hi Trevor,
The colour, exposure and apperture has worked well here, but this has been at the expense of the blown out areas in the white of the clouds. I was unsure as to whether this had been on a natural incline L - R however by following the line of clouds I can see that the horizon is not straight. I personally would position the cross slightly off center either L or R just to add a little more interest. If you have the oppertunity to return with your DLSR, you will have the benefit of being able to re-position these minor imperfections through the view finder before releasing the shutter.

If it moves shoot it. If it doesn't move, still shoot it.

Thanks Phil, will try again when the weather improves.
