No colour change, the horns and stone really were like that. A definite slice of luck though as I didn't realise just how similar they were until I got the shot onto PC. Think the way the light fell on the rocks didn't do any harm either.

Title adds to the picture. Sometimes that's the hardest part I'm finding is getting a good caption on there.

I agree with title. Even the grass has a tinge of the greyness
