Deep shade

It has been another hot day so the woods were the only place for a stroll out of the sun. I am still a bit stiff from yesterday's exertions. I don't usually use vignettes but I had not got my lens hood with me and, shooting into the sun, had to try to prevent flare. Of course, a cupped hand is not a lens hood so the only way i could make the shot usable was to 'picture postcard' it!
