In the end I settled for this one because I was running g out of battery on my phone and needed that to remote trigger the camera.

Funny thing is that when I did it I hated it but it was the best I could do. All I could see was the flaws. Then I stuck it on Facebook and Instagram and a lot of people liked it (even a girl I used to be keen on who very rarely liked anything of mine) and I actually started to like it. Now I can't remember what I disliked about the shot.
Well it looks very well done, Jacob! I think it's a great first picture to start the challenge.
