Hello Amanda and Happy New Year! Thank you, I think it has to go down as one of my favourites, not just on account of the good focus and contrast it came out with, but my patience having to stand there in the haze waiting for the "people-free" moment. Bloody people, they ruin pictures, don't they? Great place this is to be fair. I was lucky as the mist kept rolling over the surrounding hills, nicely backdropping the object. Photography is luck to a large degree.

Great shot. It's a beautiful place there. I saw a Heron the other day near there

Cheers Efim! If you ever cross the pond, you should visit this village. It is a remarkable place, indicative of the quaint old architecture of rural England.

Thanks, Mark! I was surprised to see that the photo challenge didn't have many photos submitted, which increased my chances, ha ha ha!

Thanks Carol! The fog blanketing the village on the day did me a big favour...

Wonderful composition, the Cotswolds is an amazing place to visit, and from the look of your images all the more so in the colder months, summertime is a nightmare full of people as you say:-)

If fog is amongst the things one could wish suring a photo shoot, then Fortune smiled at me on that day, Liz. Thanks a lot!

One of my favourites, too, Mick. Truly fabulous . . . sets such an incredibly mood this image has captured . . . I'd say it was well worth the wait.
