A very good angle composition, Gio67. : )

All elements in the frame work together nicely...

sorry missed that Greg,it was the 700 with the zeiss 16-80 at 40mm 400 asa and cloudy white balance (which I always use (WB that is), seems to be what I like best, i like the rich colours ), boudica was a real one,not to be messed with
