No2 for me and No3 in mono please.Great light.

Doasnt quite work in mono ,not enough foreground interest when B&W

Its like a mini Leighton Moss ,its a great site for Dragonflies and Butterflies too,Its £10 per year to join +£10 for a key which lets you into the site and along the ship canal with a car to the car park worth a look if they have a open day and its mega quiet as obviously if you need a key to get on the site its not full of knobs

A nice set Jon,I like them all,it appears like the rushes and reeds are taking over,the last one for me.

Its a highly managed site and the reeds are there as they are the breeding area for the black necked grebes, over a quarter of a million pounds has been spent on the managing of the site in the last 10 years

Great skies
those skies are ace

Last one for me, I am on the no to mono side, those skies and colours work too well

I am mightily impressed withthe quality of the light in those shots. Great coloring mixed with the good composition.

Some nice light and sky action in these.
