Sun streaming through the New Forest

I really liked the rays of sun coming through the trees and was happy to accept a bit of flare to capture the shot.

Taken on the Fuji X100, warmed the colours and applied a graduated contrast & exposure filter to darken the upper part of the photo relative to the bottom.

I might clone the bench out at some point, but cropping the grass and bench out of the bottom of the shot ruined the composition.
