Like my other recent photo's, these ones are from Sedgefield in South Africa. I hope you like them.

Lovely composition to go along with the beautiful light and colors. Very nice set. Just as a nit, I might get rid of the bit of flare on the last (red spot just down from the center). It seemed somewhat distracting once my eye latched onto it.

Yes you are right. I overlooked that completely. I have removed it.

I agree with Julian - the foreground in #3 provides a perfect anchor. It would be nice to include the left edge of the foreground puddle if you have it. Very cool shot in any event.

Very nice! I respond most to #3. I think it is the hues and textures in the mud as they relate to the sky. Thanks.

What a spectacular place, Helen.
The first two images make me want to plop down and enjoy the sunset (sunrise?).
As a photograph, the third image interests me a bit more, though.

They are all really nice. They all have an excellent 'glow' about them that I like a lot, especially the last one. The tones are just so well balanced.

Very nice again, Helen.

SA is one of the few places Charlie hasn't visited!

Amazing set Helen. Lighting and composition works in all images but number 3 is special for its interesting foreground element, balance and colors.

I checked my RAW's last night, but unfortunately I don't have another shot with the whole puddle.

I also frequent a Dutch language forum - Belgiumdigital. They have a weekly Hall of Fame with the best shots of the week. The bottom shot here made it to the HOF this week.
