Any comments, criticism most welcome.

Roger.

Roger, I don't think these benefit from very close up work. Compositionally I really like #4. Just a pity that the highlights have been blown here and there.

Thanks for the comments, Alan.
I suppose I was caught between treating the session as a technical, exploratory excercise, using some equipment I'd had (but not used) for some years, & coming up with some images pleasing to the eye.

Not sure I've achieved either, to be honest!
Again, thanks for taking the time to comment.

Roger.
