Little wander around my local stomping ground Rhoose where I live. Could of spent longer there but a trip to Ikea was on the cards and my wife and kids were waiting for me so here's hoping for more fog tomorrow!

All taken with Pentax K1 D-FA 24-70mm

I particularly like the tower of stones shots Gareth...prefer the composition of the 3rd image but the colours in the 4th.

Regards and Best Wishes to you and your family

It's the water shot for me, has a bit of mystery to it. I like the diagonal created by the bush, duck and shape in the left distant.

The first one is laden with mystery and it broods. Super shot Gareth.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

The last one is stunning - composition spot on, reflections spot on, duck spot on, absence of horizon spot on. It deserves to be printed big and hung on a wall.

The second stone tower comes a very close second for me. Perhaps there's a bit too much blank sky at the top, the brightness seems to be in conflict with the subtle colours of the rock in the bottom right (which is where my eye wants to settle but can't!). Cropping closer to the top of the tower might help to give more balance.

Here's hoping you get another foggy day and time to make good use of it.

First and last strike my fancy, for the reasons already stated above.

Very nice Gareth... particularly like the last one, for the composition and sense of stillness...

Nice, Gareth, my fave is the last one and well done for finding some good subjects. I love mist for atmospheric shots so this morning I hoped to get some with watery sun at the local deer park. Unfortunately there was a walking event on so the place was crawling with people and not a deer to be seen! I schlepped back to the car to swop my telephoto for some other lenses but by then the frost had melted and the mist turned to thick fog so the camera didn’t come out the bag all day.
