A couple from the weekend in Mid Wales.

Did go across to the Breidden (the 3 landscapes) but only got to the top of Middletown Hill before having to dash back. So only pics I managed to get:

Moel y Golfa


Was always going to be B/W as, shooting sunwards, all the colour was leeched out already



Rodney's Pillar


Processed this a fair bit - wanted to highlight the Pillar and the patches of light (there's also a paraglider flying off the Breidden but you won't see it at this size!)



Looking North




Mother and Lamb




Any comments - good, bad or indifferent always welcomed!

sun beams are gorgeous, the second shot, its amazing, love the patches of rusty coloured trees, excellant view up there + awwwwwwww, to the spring lamb (look forward to lamb chops this week) just kidding or am aye, hehehe or baaahahahaha, lol, spring maddness i tell you, lol, no but they are great shots ;0)

I love all the colour ones here as those colours are really gorgeous. I can't say I go a bundle on the mono one though it isn't bad, just don't think it has gained a lot from losing the colour. I love the rustic colours in the 2nd one, beautiful stuff

Cheers,
Rob

Another super set of shots Markulous!

Love the first 3 and I think the B&W one - I don't think the rays would have been as noticeable in colour - B&W tends to make one concentrate on detail/texture a lot more IMO. Compositons of all 3 are great, no 3 winning it for me.

The mother and lamb doesn't do it - not sure why - something's missing but I can't put my finger on it.

Many thanks for the comments! Appreciated!

I think it may need to grow a little more before hitting our plates, Karen!

The colour really was all leached out, Rob (hazy day and into the sun!) and, as Matt says, mono brought out the sunbeams - tho I grant you, not the greatest image (a little dark maybe)

Know what you mean, Matt! Think I needed to be further to the right (and lower) to 'connect' them better (for starters!) but when I moved, so did the lamb! So, had to settle for this comp

I see your b&w work hasn't improved then not so keen on that one I must say, however I do like the second shot, a tad overcooked perhaps but nice work all the same.

Reluctant thanks to Gwyn (well, OK, you make fair comment!)
