This is the picture that I was planning last night. Having decided against the salmon as a location I put all my eggs in one basket and gambled on this broken old fishing boat, beautiful in its ruined state and over-run with weeds.

Technically it was one of the more challenging photos I've done as I had to balance a whole lot of sunlight with not a lot of flash, while still creating some attractive portrait lighting. But the process of actually setting up the group and taking the photo was a breeze thanks to nine very professional young people and tour manager Martin Coull pulling it all together behind the scenes.
