Well done, Ed - that image really does capture the feeling of a hot summer day!

Cheers.

P.S. With his form of extreme fishing, the fish probably feel quite relaxed too!

[delb0y]

Congrats Ed! Great shot.

[Jocko]

Well done, Ed. To capture the only summer's day Scotland had, was inspired!

Thanks all. Taking the time to comment is appreciated.
Lucky shot, did not see at first.
This is taken from the same spot, 18mm, and only noticed it when I zoomed in, 200mm. Prior to taking the 2 views, I was fortunate? to ascertain the fence on the left, was electrified!!! Ed.
