Number three is best of bunch. Lots of shadow detail, no symetry needed and well framed.

No.1. Arch bridge is balanced but not the one in the foreground? Access/position issue?

No.2. The missing left hand side of the first arch maybe should have been "in shot" rather than too much of the right side pillar.

No.4.Could be an oil slick as not enough reflective deatil to show what it is.

All images are well exposed, detailed and show vibrant colour. The light in the first three looks great.

Best regards

No 2 is good for me, even with the LHS arch support out of shot. No 3 is also a goodie.

The last could do with a crop off the RHS and bottom, to eliminate that darker, less featured section.

To paraphrase Gary, the light and vibrant colours are striking.

No.2 for me, the inside of the High Level Bridge. Love the repeating patterns. I like the splash of red of the figure taken from the dark alleyway with The Sage in the background.

Yeah, 2 and 3 for me too. I'd go square with 3, while the shadow detail is really quite remarkable, that top section isn't contributing anything. Crop it all off!

I like them all, are they with the K5 Barrie?

I think the second is the best of the bunch but I do like the water shot despite the fact you've left some floaty bits in the bottom right corner

Thanks for the comments people, and I'll try your suggestions. No Alan, all with the K20

Got to be number 2. Even better if converted to BW, I reckon.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Not sure about the B&W - but agree it's the star of the series . I'd like to see it in B&W before I really make up my mind - but I think that the loss of the colour would not really work - no matter how you worked the black and the various levels of contrast .

I don't think that colour popping would work either .

Care to prove me wrong [ after all I know I couldn't do it ] ?

I still prefer the colour. It's sort of monochrome anyway.

PS about the missing column on the left. I framed it that way because the gap between them was wide and allowed distracting bits in.

OOOOOOPs I meant # 3

Forget my comments - put it down to a very senior moment of confusion
