Received wisdom is that you shouldn't take photographs after ten o'clock because the light gets too harsh. To an extent that is true, but then how do you take a photograph of the English countryside in high summer? I think this image worked because the scattered clouds diffused the sunlight and reduced the brightness. I had to wait for a moment when the shadows of the clouds were in the right place and the breeze dropped enough to keep the cow parsley still.
