Quite like No7 myself, although there is a bit of brightness on the far left of the horizon, just below the skyline, which is a bit distracting. All in all a nice set.

Yes, You have to give it to number 1.. Though if no 5 had a more dramatic skyline. For me that would be the best of the bunch..A very fine effort..

They're all pretty damn good but 1 and 7 are easily my favourites.

+ 1 for Tim's comments - good work, impressive stuff Adrian.
Three is perhaps less sharp, and the sepia processing is arguably a bit OTT IMO.
Both 1 and 7 have strong foreground subjects that make those shots.

Wonderful colours. I know every inch of that path. We often wander up there even if we're not going to the top. The last one's good with Y Garn against the skyline and those strong, sharp rocks in the foreground.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Nice series of shots, definitely the first for me - somehow it just seems the most balanced of the compositions

Some lovely images with 1 and 7 the nicest. I think 2 and 4 could be improved by cropping some of the bottom of the image.
Best wishes, Kris.

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

I agree with your view regarding the sky in no. 5 Stuart, here's a similar one where the sun's not in the image.Yes, You have to give it to number 1.. Though if no 5 had a more dramatic skyline. For me that would be the best of the bunch..A very fine effort..

i-Berg, I used one of the presets in Lightroom, can't remember which one exactly. Here's a similar one in colour.+ 1 for Tim's comments - good work, impressive stuff Adrian.

Nice work Adrian. Some of the pre-sets in LR are a good start if you then modify them to your own style.

No. 7 for me. I love the dramatic skyline and the way you've used the rock as forground.

Some shots were ruined with rain drops on the filter appearing in the shots.
The light wasn't great, but did improve slightly towards the end.
