Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

The first is the pick for me Kris - the water, leaves, flower and mayfly all come together well.

The detail in the base of the column in #4 is my second pick, nice choice of b/g also.

The first one is nice but I love the second one: the brightness of the grass and the reflection work really well against the dark background. I like the shot of the squirrel too, but maybe the electric flex could be cloned out?

The last one I find frustrating as I keep trying to read the oof writing in the background, but I like the detail on the lamp post.

A pleasing set, Kris. I like the last one in particular. It's also instructive to see the effect of the different lenses.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Impressive shots Kris!

Great reflection in the 2nd one, lovely vivid greens too. My kinda thing Perhaps clone out that clump of green in the top left corner?

The squirrel is excellent too, very impressive that it was MF too! The cable isn't too obvious but I would probably also have a go at cloning it out.
