Strong compositions, which have an inherent drama to them... they're super as they are in colour, but am just wondering, given you've gone the b&w route on no.2, if mono might well suit the set as a whole? Just a thought... very nice as is...

Thank you, Bill, for your positive comments and interesting suggestion. I haven't thought about converting the other images to mono as I am reasonably pleased with them in colour - but you may well be right. I'll have a play with them in due course. I converted number 2 because I was, frankly, disappointed with the colour version which I felt lacked impact but thought that the strong shape of the viaduct, and interesting sky, might come up well in b&w. It was also an opportunity to try the mono conversion capabilities of Affinity Photo. I am quite pleased with the outcome on both counts .... but I am still learning about Affinity and so there might be better to come.

No. 4 would be a strong contender if it were cropped just below the two lumps sticking out of the water in the foreground. Too strong a pull towards the bottom at the moment, the crop would help the eye be drawn into the distance. In fact, until I blanked out the bottom on the screen, I didn't even see the second red 'beacon' (on the RH side). And the resulting wide-screen format helps to emphasise the flow of the river from L to R (or vice versa?).
Hope that helps.
