Back in the saddle (perhaps)

I decided to join in the Techniques Challenge for February to get back in the habit of posting every day and trying to be creative. With 6 techniques a week and a wildcard, it'll push me out of my comfort zone.

First day is a bit of a cop-out. I forgot it was the 1st February, but luckily a shot I took of Erin and Marly at the old Kirk near Culross lends itself to a "Radial Blur" - one of the week 1 challenges. I still prefer the original though...
