Great stuff Nigel... as David says above, you've caught some beautiful light in these... 8, 9 and 10 for me... particularly like the 3rd tree from the right in Witchampton... and the letterbox view of no 2 is a lovely composition...

I have to agree that the composition/aspect ratio for no 2 is fantastic, also the Bosham Harbour shot is gorgeous, well composed with excellent exposure and lighting.

A brilliant set, as Dr O says, plenty of special lighting, plus beautiful colours . 2, 8, 10, 12 are my particular favourites - a great photographic year!

Losing the will here to write something original so I'll get straight to it, April and November at Witchampton are my pick.
Cheers
Brian.
LBA is good for you, a Lens a day helps you work, rest and play.

Lovely images Nigel, very well thought out and taken. The compositions here are what catch my eye, I think you must 'see' things in a quite similar way to me.
