Steve, the colours and tones here are so well balanced and create such a powerful visual effect, so pleasing to the eye.
Love the image design and presentation. A well captured and thoughtfully processed frame - thank you so much for sharing!

Warmest regards,
Gabriela

The tones of the heather in the background are perfect. Really like this composition.

Thanks again Phill, wasn't too sure how many might be still around, but there one or two, but all keeping a safe distance, I wonder why?

Interesting note, there were a pair of Rough-legged Buzzards scouting the area too.
