Beautiful. Looks worth the wait

Bye bye Canon 450D

Love the light painted orb. Hope the camera recovers.

LETTERS NEVER SENT

Really beautifully lit Keith. If I'm really looking hard for suggestions to make I do tend to agree with Nick on the placement of the photo as a minor point. I love the quality of the specular highlights on the books though and reflection in the desk.

BTW - I subliminally registered the old book to the right of the candle as being an antique book on 'The World Wide Web' before the more conscious part of my brain finally went 'hold on' and went back for a second look

Looking forward to seeing more.

Looks like the plan paid off. Fantastic shot.

Long & Short of it...

Great comp and colours - and the motion in the sky really sets it off.

Milking It

Me too - the water gives the shot loads of energy.

Waking The Witch

I think most of the helpful feedback has been said but just to add that years back I read a photoshop compositing tutorial and the key to a convincing result really was to have everything shot in the same way. In addition to the similar direction and quality of light that's been mentioned, the focal length and dof of the shot need to match for best possible results, e.g. model shot with a mid/telephoto lens against a wide angle landscape will tend to look a little like a cardboard cutout whereas similar focal lengths will be more natural/convincing.

I'll paste a link if I can find it again - looking forward to seeing more.

Me too - bags of character.

Beautifully shot - I really like the style you've created with this.

Godrevy Glory

Wow - fantastic colours and the panoramic format really suits it.

Cape Gold ...

Impressive - particularly in the handling of the highlights - very well deserved.

Red Roaches

Absolutely stunning sky.

Low flying Spaniel

Excellent timing. It reminds me of a series I took of my kids jumping up and down in a muddy puddle when they were younger

Southwold surf

Really stunning - well deserved. Colours, movement, exposure and comp all spot on IMO.

Bracebridge Pumping Station

Great range of colours too from the shady mossy concrete through the warm light on the wall to the brick.

QUIET REFLECTIONS

A beautiful shot - I don't know if it's as a consequence of everything the image has been through but it has some great character to it IMO.

Slaters Bridge (2) Little Langdale

Impressive mood and I love the way you've handled the subtle colour in the sky.

Running Free

Great autumn colour, well shot. To my eye it makes a great square crop using just the top part of the image too (not implying there's anything wrong with it as it stands - just an alternative).

Last light before the storm

Thanks for the comments folks. The shooting conditions were tricky but I'm pleased with the result.

RETREATING

Great movement in the water here - the exposure time seems just right.

A Fly's Eye

Definitely can't fault the results. Superb, and the focus is perfect.

Before the Harvest

Great detail and colour in the corn.

By: LeighRebecca

Five Fells

I like the overall scene but it seems a little under exposed. The curves adjustment already suggested should help with that, or you can do a quick fix by dragging in the right hand slider in levels. It looks worth the effort to get that right.

By: Ingleman

Causeway under Water

I like the way there's just the right amount of reflection over the causeway while still leaving it visible. Great comp and colours too.

By: colin63

Big Foot

Yes - definitely an unique view and the snow and sky help make it something special.

By: jokinarnya

Sunrise Pen-y-Fan

Yes - stunning conditions, very well captured.

Birstwith

Well worth the wet foot I reckon. Just the right amount of detail in the water too.

Winter at Spurlswood Beck

Hi Soren,

It's just near the Blackling Hole car park, upstream of the main waterfall and the bridge. It's pretty easy to get to in normal weather but I like visiting in snow because it's near impossible to get a car within half an hour's walk of it and that seems to turn it into a real wilderness some how.

I walked along the valley floor today and found the footprints I left a week ago. No other prints in sight. That has to be pretty rare on this crowded little island
