First two are extremely nice shots, love the colours and composition.
C&C welcome.

The composition of the first one is excellent. Very nice image indeed. The third one doesn't do much for me as the main foreground interest is a little too small.

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

Agree with comments on the first one, nicely composed and great colours

This first image is a very good one, Manix. It needs a 1:1 crop though, IMO.

Love the first one!!!
Not keen on the 1:1 crop in comparison, but I would crop 80 to 100 pixels of the right hand side. And add some to the left if there is any.
Whereabouts near Cambridge is this. Might take a look myself at some point

it looks better in composition, just my thought.

#1 is superb. Personally I like both the original AND the cropped versions. having looked at both a few times I think preference comes down to whether you want to print at say 8x10 or square. I think I'd stay with the 8x10 for a print.

Thanks for the comments.
I do like the 1:1 crop myself though I still tend to think in 8x10 print sizes (though I rarely print these days so maybe 16:9 is more in mind) Must think out of the box more often - or should that be out of my box?

This is just how sunsets should be photographed, with an inetresting silhouette in the foreground. Well done. To crop or not to crop? that's your call.

Nicely done, I may have to visit myself now!
I prefer the 1:1 crop as well.
