Some really good work here Fiona, stuff here you wouldn't have produced a year ago that's for sure
Some comments on each:
1: not keen. I like the composition and the colour of the brickwork but the light on the right is too distracting. However, I know exactly what you mean about the colours, so good attempt to capture them.
2: Nicely composed, good lead-in lines. The house looks a tad soft but might be due to compression. Very pleasant shot with a nice balance to it.
3: Well taken ruin. It feels like what it is, a part of a whole. But the layout is very well done and I like seeing off into the dsitance so that it has plenty of context.
4: Like this a lot, love the different coloured brickwork and the contrast with the FG greenery and the azure to pale blue fade of the sky. Good shot.
5: Good shot, a touch too much sky but not overly so, well focused and exposed.
6: Rotate this slightly counter-clockwise as it is leaning to the right but despite that it is my favourite without a doubt. Really well done treatment and excellent lighting with plenty of detail in the shadows and in the light areas so not over-exposed. Very slightly tight at the top, especially as you had plenty at the bottom you could have lost. If this is a crop, try it again with a touch of rotate. It's worth it as it is a cracking shot.
7: A bit flat for my liking, the light could be lifted at the lower end of the luminance scale to give a touch more detail in the shadows but also to allow for greater contrast overall. Still a very pleasant shot though and I like the composition.
All in all an excellent day's work there Fi, really good job. Well done
Cheers,
Rob
