Another frame from the encounter I had with this very 'chill-out' guy which is a bit more 'fitting' for this months theme I think to my previous one. Taken very late afternoon so it was balancing saturated light, shadow and strong HL's which I just left to burn out in parts. Lying flat wasn't the issue to get the POV, however avoiding the blades of OOF grass was a nightmare.
