Stunning sunrise, or sunset?
Well, stunning. Great shot there!

Nice shot.

Lovely colour, are you dual tasking- fishing & photography?

 

[bailout]

It is a lovely scene with the sun and the scenery in the background. I like the backlighting around the walker's head. However, I do have a bit of an issue with the deep shadow on the bank. I especially find my gaze getting pulled to the large patch of shadow on the left.

 

[Crotal Bell]

Nice work

Thanks buddy

Yes and maybe get back on the metal detecting at some point too.

Hi, what’s a crotal bell?

 

[Crotal Bell]

Hi, what’s a crotal bell?

Small round bell, hollow with a ringer in it. If you look on Google images you should see some old ones, we find them metal detecting. They can be hundreds of years old.

Week 2 Hard and Tech SooC

 

[-Oy-]

That works Keith

 

[LC2]

Definitely works for theme and tech.
It would have been nice to see some more contrasty light emphasising that it's winter, but I guess the weather wasn't playing ball and you only have so much time to capture ice.

Exactly that Tim, it was a case of grab what I could at the location.

Week 3 Soft and Tech SooC

Very soft! Got some great detail in that pic

Nice simple composition with the back lighting works well for the theme.

 

[nickbee]

Simple and effective, the lighting's spot on.

Looks good against the darker background

Thanks all, much appreciated.
The sun was lighting up the river rushes in front of me, with the trees on the far bank in shade, so a nice combination to get a shot for the weekly theme.

 

[BobBCN]

Can only agree with others. Very nicely done.

Week 4 Water

 

[BobBCN]

Works theme-wise, and you captured the idea of the solitude perfectly (although he looks happy enough!)

"Ast cotched owt?" is the cry that would go up in my hometown

Nice peaceful pic.
