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.

Wow, seems like the horns are actually part of the stone. I love that.

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
