A quiet afternoon out birding, so tried landscapes with the one lens I had with me........

I'd be interested to hear any thoughts you may have.
















Thanks for looking & have a good weekend!

The first shot is superb; the composition is great and the you have captured a lovely moment of lighting as the clouds sweep the landscape giving nice light to foreground, with shadows from the rhs fence and grass, and distance with the band of dark behind the trees. The second image whilst good compositionally lacks a bit of punch for me.
Thanks for sharing

I agree with Andy.
Plus these photos prove you don't need a wide angle lens to take a great landscape photo.

it is always a surprise when a lens gets used for something it is not normally for and these shots certainly have done that, both very good but go along with the others , number 1 is the strongest for me.

Thanks for your constructive, kind comments, all.

Here's a re-work of the second image.







Any better........?

Roger

Yes - for me plus possibly a touch of vibrance as well? I know that can take it OTT if not careful tho'!
