Mike a great set

Love the colours - particularly # 2 - the colour just brings that one to life

The squirrel - well of course I love it - never realised their ears were quite as hairy as that

The peacock - that blue - it's electric , absolutely stunning !!

Some very nice shots, I like the red squirrel and peacock best.
I can't see anything in the Lifeguard Tower?

Lovely images Mike. Hope you enjoyed your trip.

The guy outside the church probably only wants notes as he can obviously afford Nike trainers

#2 and #4 are excellent!

Followed closely by #1


I'm debating with myself whether I'd crop a bot off the top of #2. Can't decide

Lovely varied set. I really like the lifeguard tower, and the squirrel is dead cute. The weakest image IMHO is the fisherman one.

Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice set of shots Mike, my favourite has to be the squirrel shot - are they all taken with the 18-135?

Great set! I love the squirrel, although am drawn especially by the chap counting his dosh. Am intrigued also by the PP. Very good all round. Makes me want a holiday

Thanks Kris, was in two minds as to whether I should include the fisherman shot.

1. 18-135mm
2. 55-300mm
3. 55-300mm
4. 18-135mm
5. 18-135mm
6. 55-300mm

To be honest apart from one or two rare occasions I could quite happily use just those 2 lenses all of the time.

Impressed with the 18-135 - looks a good all rounder.

Having said that the Squirrel is excellent.
