I really like the first one. The pose in the second one is a bit weird but the lighting and the conversion suit the setting. The third one does nothing for me (sorry) and the snow is too blue. I like the last three and one can take ones pick which you prefer. Personally I like the third [sixth] one but only because I am fond of the Wrekin. Were these from the top of Caer Caradoc?
Best wishes, Kris.

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

The first one is great, although I wouldn't have guessed country park just by looking at it

Kris,
The second shot was a candid I took of him while he was thinking of ideas and where to go to take more shots. I just liked it with the juxtaposition of looking like he is a praying in such an urban environment....
Yeah, the snow is a bit blue, agreed, but I am still in the learning stages with PS and Lightroom and didn't know how to keep the colour of the snow while I did the rest of the adjustments....to be fair, it was very late in the day anyway, so light getting dark and there wasn't much to work with, but bringing out the colours in the rest and toning it down for the flash made everything look a touch blue....
The last three I really liked....I had never used the macro facility on the lens and saw the snow and ice on there and had a go and this is what came out. No, wasn't taken up there, but know where you mean....this is the toroscope at the top of the hill at Baggeridge Country Park, quite some way away!!!
Tim, it was a tunnel that led under a private road IN the country park....hence the confusion....

I took these with off camera flash on a hill in a local country park near to where I grew up, but haven't lived since 1996. This is my cousin, who has a degree in photography and was thinking up ideas on a photo walk over xmas....I hope you like them. Would love to hear what you think! Cheers in advance!
Cheers!
