Dalkeith Country Park

Manage to get out at last but only went a mile or so to be on the safe side. No real drama in the sky or snow falling so not really what I was after but a new take for me on one of my local haunts.

First 2 work really well for me Simon, especially the use of the bridge as a frame in #2.

Thanks Peter. It is an often taken shot but there will only be a few togs who brave the steep snowy slope down and then cross the river to get the shot when the weather is like today.

Tried the pano in mono, like it a good deal better

I like the composition of the pano. My crit isn't the shot per se but the conditions. Snow is great but these bare brown trees - yuck. Imagine them with a thick hoar frost and man that shot would work, and in summer and in Autumn too.

The last shot isn't working for my tastes (that sort of thing never does) but the second shot is rather good. The framing works - it breaks up the dull flat sky and it hides most of the bare brown trees. Good work.

I was sure I had a copy of the pano from Autumn but I can't find it. I agree that the conditions don't help. I was actually hoping for some more snow on the trees or falling snow. It's just a mile away so it's one of those shots that I will get one I am happy with eventually.

Knew I had one. Again, not the best of conditions but I really like the way the curved path and wonky tree throws the perspective.

Nice set I like the mono and the the third shot the most
