Lovely set, Nos. 1 and 4 for me. What were the blue plants in the last one?

Best wishes, Kris.

Thanks for the comments people

Kris, I spotted the Bluebells on the side of the hill on the 'Dukes Pass' between Callander and Aberfoyle, couldn't stop at the time as I had a tourist bus about 5 feet from my rear bumper on a very narrow road. Took me about 3 miles before I found a place to turn around, wasn't going to miss this shot.

Put a polarizer on to darken the sky and bring out the cloud.

( Might stand a little cropping to a letter-box format ? )

If you must.....

Well, there's nothing wrong with seeing what it would look like. But I think it works the way it is.

Thanks Matt, I saw your recent Poppy images in the gallery and thought they were fantastic, just the type of thing I like. It was the kick in the ass I needed to get out there and have a go

Serves to show that you can do amazing things with your camera even when the fisheye is not attached.
Brilliant series.
#1: So fragile they look, wonderful texture.
#2: Cunning composition, works a treat for me.
#3: For me the weakest of the four (but still a good shot).
#4: Excellent. The composition does it here. I doubt that cropping it will make it better.
