Well worth a bit of swaying backwards and forwards while balancing on one leg to get these. My favourites are 5 for the misty effect and the last for the glow, both turning pictures of moss into art.

The colours and shape in the last two in particular are superb - the whole set is worth the effort but those 2 would make great wall art (IMO)

Wonderful set, Peter, especially 3-8 in my eyes, and of those, I'm with Steve above - 5 and 8 are particularly well photographed and processed.

Hi ps burnley, the last image is simply gorgeous. It would appeal to anyone , regardless of their artistic understanding. Top photo it’s just exquisite.

Morning guys. Thanks for comments which are both helpful and interesting. I only included the last image as my wife picked it out as her favourite. She definitely has the artistic eye whereas I can't see the wood for the trees!

Maybe you should listen to your wife more often, Peter! These are all good to study, but to me the last one is simply beautiful.

6, 7 and 8 for me. Have you thought about square cropping some of these as to loose some of the dead space at the sides if the frame?

Thanks for comments which I shall take as compliments. Gareth, you raise an interesting suggestion. Obviously the pictures were originally 3:2 and I played around a lot when cropping. I do find 4:3 a relaxing ratio (and being an ex Olympus user). I did try and give a bit of space around the frame but will go back and look at the cropping again. Cheers, Peter.

These are all very original and beautiful, a great set.

And the sun came out briefly to catch some moss on the south side of the walls.
