Interesting to see so many "long" focal lengths used.
Yep. The problem with having the family in tow was that I generally had to use the lens and not my feet. ie, walking off and getting the shot wouldn't have gone down too well.
Having said that, your point is a fair one. I do rely on zoom far too often. Maybe I should restrict myself to my 50mm one day.

The Eiffel tower was pure serendipity. We were having a picnic and I lay down and looked up through the tree and it was there.

I'm still going through my photos from holiday ( in August! ).
Most are holiday snaps, but some I've tried to "do something" with.
Here are some from the crop so far.
C&C welcome.

The "Sky Mirror" at Versaille

I think this is the Fountain of Apollo, again at Versaille

I think, for my money, that she's right in number one. It's neither one nor the other. Too foggy at the top and not enough at the bottom.
Number 3, though, I do like and it screams Autumn to me.

Just my opinion.

Ok. Thanks anyway.

Thanks.

Thanks both! The more I look at the opening image, the more I think square crop?!
I think that would work, but, in my opinion, I'd keep the original.

Thanks for all of the positive responses. Yes, I did quite like the last one myself. I've got a couple like that; there was enough moisture i the atmosphere to condense out every time he pulled a tight turn.

I agree, the set as a whole is very well taken but the last shot is the best for me!

Have you tried any maybe a little brighter?
Wasn't sure how bright to go, my monitor isn't calibrated.

I'll brighten them up and see how they look.

Thanks Stuey.
Glad to see an old name on here! How are things going?

It's been quite a while since I've "actively looked" at photographs, but number one certainly made me stop and look!
I love the way the lines in the sand mirror those in the clouds and really draw you in.
