All great, I think no. 2 is my pick of the bunch!

 

[Bobsyeruncle]

Great set.
#2 Is my favourite.

Very nice Steve - I like the slightly more mysterious 3.

 

[Scirocco_09]

Although I like the swirling clouds in 2 and 3 the colour palette, light and balance of 1 is much better for me. Very nice.

Our local cheesemonger does the most wonderful cheese from Ossau, nice to see the terroir

1st one gets my vote. Processing looks good, nice light and contrast.

You should go to the Pyrenees. The Ossau Valley is just one of many gems to shoot. It’s a landscape photographers paradise and a geological marvel.

And yeah, the foods damned good too.

Three very nice images Steve

 

[Dave Semmens]

Number 1 for me - but all good images

Really, really love the first. The others are very nice too but for me the first has the best light and I like how the cloud in the top left mirrors almost the bottom left. Have you tried any in black and white?

Thanks. I have but I’ll hold it back for another thread. I myself don’t think it works as well

Like all 3 of them but if I had to choose a favourite then I’d go with 2

 

[keeweeman]

a whole world of yes from me, i like the cloud in the second one but i think the first one pips it for me

 

[NeilA1975]

I like all of em mate, no 1 though, although small crit for me the mountain is a bit too central.

 

[JasonPC]

Great clouds in the third. I prefer mountainscapes with the clouds around the peaks rather than above so I’d usually choose #3 is the fave. The light and shadows are mint in the first though. Good set mate, like them all.

Nice set Steve, I do like the mid level clouds in 2, but the colours and tones in 1 are beautiful.

 

[arclight]

As far as I am concerned you could no wrong with that sort of subject. Mountains and low broken cloud. If you are there when there is cloud movement you never know what gems will appear (and disappear) in no time at all.
Real eye candy.

Lovely Steve, more like you too re the processing etc and some very nice light. Number 1 for me.

First one is a lot better than the other 2 for me. The cloud cover/mist frames the shot, rather than obscuring like the second, or being a bit RHS heavy in the third.

All really well exposed and processed but it's the first that I could look at for ages and enjoy.
