I love the crazy angle of the church and the effect, but two points to watch. Focus on the the church is a little off (were you using AF?) manual focus is the way to go when using NDs. Also a little more care in composition like the tree trunk in the the top corner, but a lovely effect all the same. Yes I like it.

I tried a long exposure when in Derbyshire at my sons house on the Chatsworth Estate, but even a slight breeze destroys the effect.

Yes, AF. I'll certainly try manual focus. Good point about the tree trunk in the top left corner. Should have spotted that myself.
Thanks for your comments.
Great colours in your photo, a lovely location.

In the years BF.....Before photography.....I would never have thought for a second that wind or even a slight breeze could mess up a photo opportunity.

Well im in with a 4sec exposure but im back to using science. This is one shot only, not multiple nor PP. I have only played with the levels a bit and cropped a tiny bit out.

You're welcome. I hope it's been a good theme for people. I've enjoyed it, although its been frustrating. Not really got what I was hoping for. But I'll keep going with this theme even after the month is over.
