Thanks Sanbaz.
Practice is good - I had some reasonable shots from this angle, but then I decided to turn on the flash. Seems dumb, but after tweaking the flash compensation I got this photo. I'm quite pleased with it apart from the slightly annoying shadows, but with the equipment that I have it was the best I could achieve. What it did was to highlight the subject to simulate the richness of colour on a summers day. The only editing done (which I try to stick to always) was to crop the photo.
Mess about to your hearts content, only you and the recycle bin will see the duffers!!
