Glad she didn't get back in before you grabbed these. Its a wonderful effort - reminds me of our camera club project with crystal balls last year.
I must admit I'm useless at the technical stuff.

What a powerful portfolio Bill. They are all excellent but my favourites are, in no particular order, the Clifton Suspension Bridge, it reminds of Turner, the ice on the beach, misty trees which have great DR, and silhouettes because this is a style I like doing too. Oh...and Millennium Bridge, it has a comic/surreal feel to it.

No need to apologise for the lack of variety Alan, there's variety in abundance in your choice of photos. I love the two pictures of harvest mice, the deer and the leaning groyne on the beech but they are all crackers.

I shall continue photographing the things I like best, street photography, steam trains, people getting dressed up in fantastic costumes such as at the Whitby Goths, the Edinburgh Fringe performers and the occasional Scottish or Welsh mountain landscape. It would also be nice to come back home with a beautiful landscape from The English Lake District, something I've never managed although The Lakes are les than a couple hours drive from where I live and everyone else seems capture that area so well.
The journalist in me would love to get a world photo scoop, perhaps a spaceship landing in a remote area of Northumberland when no one but me was anywhere nearby.

Thanks Bill, Irene is indeed on the mend although she will have to take things easy for quite a while.
Thanks also for the comments on the 2016 portfolio to you and everyone else who commented.
David

I'm enjoying all these 2016 collections and this is another fine set. The mill sunset is a stunner and I want that blue Ford.
David

Super shots, a lovely selection. My faves are the footbridge at the Armadillo (I've ben there done that) and the Kelpie,(Must get round to visiting here). Thanks for showing these.
David..

One subject but such a wide variety of ways in which to tackle it. 21 pictures of cars or motor bikes whizzing round and round a track could get a bit tedious no matter how good the images but you've looked at this in so many different ways to make it really entertaining.
David

Another super set from this past year, and such variety too. I love the toast eating squirrel and that simple yet so effective mono of the bench under the tree from December. Wonderful clarity in that shot.
David

I like the variety in this set and admire your head for heights when getting near the edge to photograph Pulpit Rock. The Arch I love because one of my favourite photo locations has always been La Defense in Paris. (Not that I've been there many times, just three) Your view from The Grande Arche to the Arc de Triomph is a classic.
