These were taken 03/03/2010 and show the river which has burst its banks joining up to the boating lake.

These are technically not good, but taken to show what nature is doing in my area of the UK.

Any comments?

It appears very wet! Bad enough motorcycling through the floods last Sunday (see previous thread).

BTW, you need to straighten the horizon in the first one.

Best wishes, Kris.

Ooops, forgot that bit. The river rose by 2" in 4hrs that day, but this morning had dropped back to be within its bank, but still high.

The cyclist isn't sharp and I feel needs more space in front of him than behind him - although I am often told I am wrong about this!

Love the tree reflections in the first and the indications of the water actually moving.

I find the background in the second slightly irritating , but then I know I wouldn't do any better
