You found some nice colour in those skies. Beautifully clear and sharp photographs but I think I find them all a bit overly complex. Too many lines and shapes but I am sure this is just me not being able to cope with all those lines.
I assume the 10-20 got an outing then?

Tim, this last image presents a great architectural view, nice one.
I'd like to see it as a B&W image too.

Last one for me too. Agree with Gareth about cropping the land out.
I tried a B&W conversion and it works if you don't push the contrast too high where the pylon gets lost in the sky.

Great graphic images. Very stong composition. Perfect skies, too. A landscape photographer's dream!

I like the symmetry in the last as high shot, particularly as highlighted in the B&W - very nice shot!

Thanks guys. Even though I am a sucker for nice blue skies I quite like how the final shot turned out in BW. However not too thrilled about how it has highlighted the softness of the barbed wire in the bottom right (HDR artifact I hope!).
