I don't know quite what to say, other than a HUGE thank you for your comments...!!

Annaliese - Yes, there was some post processing work done on it - re: brightness/contrast, colour balance, and some clarification.

Hoov - Hi mate! :D How're things in S.A.?

Elisandro and all - have a good weekend :)

"When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling towards the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much doomed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor."

Brilliant shot.

3amfromkyoto says:

Thank you everyone :)

Andrew - :) thanks - re: Wasdale yes, definitely recommended. Found it by 'accident' in '04, so decided to go back - a Hellish route (particularly if coming over Wrynose & Hardknott passes), but seriously worth it.

Ultrastar175g - thanks :) and :D

Damien - thanks :) re:HDR, no, just Paint Shop Pro for post processing. Various colour and brightness/contrast adjustments etc.
