Nice work! Wonder if you could get a bit more out of them with some pp - eg lift the shadows a touch

Maybe .... but they are already pushed quite a long way.

Do these work better?

As you know I'm anything but an authority on tasteful PP but these look pretty good to me

Cheers DD.

I think the first one just about gets away with it at a small size. Might need some more messing around to go larger - it's quite a deep crop.

The second one is a bit soft which shows up a little more when lighter. Probably OK at a small size though. I hadn't anticipate the rather low pass so was slightly compromised on shutter speed and any high contrast part of the plane on which to try to achieve good focus at a close distance while keeping everything in the frame.

Love this one - the sort I could keep coming back to and looking at again and again. Do you sell prints?

Thanks Sometimes you're just in the right place at the right time eh.

I do sell a few from time to time, an international sale would be a first though PM me if you're interested and I'll try to work something out.

Yep, just before the kayak slid past (its a modern art thing).

That's a very nice scene but it's crying out for some processing.

It is certainly seeking some PP but I have to observe that any scene with a disturbine in it (if not in flammable mode) is unlikely to be "very nice".

Irrespective of one's opinions about disturbines the jarring of very modern engineering and long term landscape rarely (being generous) results in a "very nice scene".

That said I would not question any technical competence displayed.
