Some from Scotland

I took zillions of photos, but my success rate seems remarkably low, even by my standards. However, here are some of the shots I'm happiest with. I'll spread them over a few posts as they are different in style. C&C as always :wink: Arbroath Smokies. Dovecot Abstract

Nice shots FT! Echoing most people, I like both of the BWs, although I prefer the abstract dovecote shot.

The 2nd portrait is excellent! The other two are okay, 1 is a bit soft and the background isn't so good, 3 the chap himself lets it down, weak chin and blown out background etc. But the 2nd one now, wonderfully sharp, the chap is photogenic (and looks hard as nails) and the background is very nice. Most excellent.

The landscapes are decent, I like the colours, and nice skies especially in 3. I agree with you that number 1 is quite dark.
