cheers jonty, i was pleased with the results, that was my first try at long exposure shots.

If being really picky I would say it would be better without the fence, and maybe focus more on the tree or ideally something more static so there is more of a constrast between the static object and the sky. The tree is bound to move, meybe a house or telegraph pole?

i was thinking the same thing, i have cropped the fence out but i was looking at the before and after and i like the complete contrast of the white line striking through the photo, personal preference i suppose. with regards to a more static object, i was a bit limited as i have no tripod and that shot was taken on a 30sec shutter on timer off the side of my sofa with the lens propped up by the lens cap so i was a bit limited as to what was in the shot, but i agree the blurry branches do take away the sharpness and it's a little out of focus.
