They're all very nice. But I prefer the 2nd and 3rd (which look the same to my eyes!) and prefer the framing of the first few, with only a narrow ribbon of land at the bottom.

interesting set, they all look similar but my favourite is no 2. great capture for the largest, cleanest and most efficient coal-fired power station in the UK.

I take it this is the same image reworked different ways? Each version has its own dramatic appeal but the one I like most is the black and white conversion with the Rising to the Sky a close second..

Hi David,
There are 2/3 images all taken at the same time but basically the same shots. Then pp'd in different ways.

Cheers
