The combination is nice, some architecture, nature and great portraits. All in one go? Well done and I enjoyed them a lot.

Here are some SOOCs taken today. None of these shots have seen ANY processing, not even in camera, any vignetting you see or anything is native and not added in. I thought that might be interesting for some of you to see;

And this is how I may have rendered one of the images (just as an example);

Love that one. It's the sort of photo I'd happily have on my wall, so I could spend quiet moments pondering over the implied existence of the tree that I mostly can't see. Beautiful and thought provoking at the same time.

I especially like the fountain.

This one was shot using my ESII, probably my S-M-C Takumar 135mm f/2.5 lens on Kodak Ektar.

Archer's Pavilion at Wrest Park.

Thank you kindly Dave! Original subject was going to be the moon, as I moved my tripod around, this happened and voilá - a new subject, new approach, and totally different result. Very happy myself with it as well

And rightly so. This is a great image, testimony to the fact that you don't need a lot in a photo to make it an interesting image.

Thanks for the kind comment. With you 100% - subjects do not need to be majestuous on their on for shots to be interesting. The challenge lies in making the everyday and mundane seem interesting.

I'm so glad this shot has gathered a very warm reception - it was an instance that the end result truly depicted what was thought of when taking the shot. Much appreciate the kind feedback
