As one might expect, these are just gorgeous. This is what you get when you team great photographers with great gear and let them loose in a great location.
Some fabulous moody, brooding shots there as a result of the weather and the usual low level clouds.

How to pick favs, from this lot,
1, 3 5, 9, 16, would be my picks with 1 and 5 being my favs from them, the quality of the light is sublime.

Not jealous much, honestly

Artistic licence for me.
I'm not sure why, but it does look better flipped.

Found this brown shield bug on the washing on the line, so i moved him to try and get some shots.
Struggled to get much that I was happy with. Its colouring is where i felt i struggled most, trying to balance exp.
Anyway here are a couple.

Never had a ball type head.
At the minute I have a slick pro dx pan and tilt.
Would like to try a ball type.
No help to you I'm afraid

Initially I thought it was just a tight crop, but can see from the corners that it seems to be uncropped.
Still a nice shot anyway.

Nice shooting, for me, 5 and 6 would be my favs, in that order.
They're all great but those 2 stand out for me.
Super shooting
You need to get some pentax leggings

Of the 3, no 2 is my fav.
