Great shots Gavin

#2 then #1

Alan

Very nice...#2 has a great fall mood!

Moody captures, with the second being very nicely done. Looks like winter is fast approaching. The crop is not bas on the 3rd but the 1st one looks nicer.

Howdy Gavin,

Very nicely done, very moody and surreal looking.

Take care,

Craig

#1 is very nice...

All nice shots!

#2 is my favorite, though it feels like it needs just a little more of the ground underneath the tree in the photo

The 1st one is great. That tree is gorgeous.

love the composition in all, and especially the lighting in #1. great captures and treatment.
regards, tom

# 2 is fabulous. The light coming though the tall trees in the background onto the tree in the foreground is haunting. I'd love to have this hanging on one of my walls
Monty

Yep, second one is extraordinary! I can't help but wonder how it would look to put a person under that tree to add some man with nature dimension to it.

I nearly missed the shot as I was passing by, I went back to see if I was seeing things or not. I took a few shots to get the exposure and avoid any lens glare.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

Gavin

The first two are really nice Gavin. Probably like the second one the best

These are super, Gavin
The light is great on all, but the second has a unique look to it. Really special.

Scott

Love the sun streaks and tree placement on the first one. I'd say that's my favorite of the bunch...

The second is a superb shot ,the light in the 3 shots is exceptional

Cheers Ray

Yep second favorite for me too, how did you get those streaks?

Tim

Thanks Lars and Scott, I hope to print it out on R2400 soon, digital printing is another skill of photography to master (will it ever end )

T-Bone, I think it's mine too - #2, I just wish I had time these days to get out and about, to do more.

Ray,
Hey thanks

Tim, I saw it, and couldn't believe it, I got some lens glare on a few shots. There's actually not much difference in the color and B&W shot, maybe a very dark green on the grass.

Gavin your second shot is just amazing. The lighting cant get any better than that.

eric

Great series. The second shot really impresses.

#1

Spectacular firts shot Gavin.

First one is my favourite.

Goodness so busy lately with getting to grasps with printing and work too - little time for FM . Nevertheless it's a wonder to see your prints on paper.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement.

Gavin

Gavin,
I'd love to know how your prints turn out. I'm on that learning curve for printing BW as well, and have been less than satisfied with my efforts with Museo II, despite the great reputation. Printing on a 3800, so it should be similar to your experience.
Let me know about the papers you use, profiles, etc.
Feel free to PM me.
Scott
