Thanks Mike. My other shots of it are rather pale so thought I'd spice it up a bit.

Superb shot. Nice to see it with some room around it, stars all the way in, and with beautiful colour.

Thanks Justin. It's a challenge getting the right balance sometimes. But all my other shots of it were bland, so thought I'd up it a bit.
