I really like the textures in the first one. Has the second one had any HDR processing? It looks a little "unreal" on my monitor. Then again, this monitor has been proven to lie in the past.

Thanks for that. And the smokies tasted as good as they looked.

Welcome back - there are some beaut shots here Fr Ted - the smokies, the three musicians, and the first of the landscapes too.
Interesting that you chose that shot. I still can't decide if the foreground is just a tad too dark.

I have to agree with Berg, 2 & 3 for me too. The first gate pic doesn't do anything for me. The second gate pic. .. I think the out of focus fence to the right is distracting. I think I'd have preferred that in focus with the building behind out of focus, but hey! That's just my opinion.

I took zillions of photos, but my success rate seems remarkably low, even by my standards.
However, here are some of the shots I'm happiest with. I'll spread them over a few posts as they are different in style. C&C as always

Arbroath Smokies.

Opposite problem for me. Pressed the brakes and nothing happened. Had to pump the pedal like mad to get any response. Got it fixed and no further issues. But I aged a few years in that 100 metres!

You been talking to my missus

The main interesting event was just outside North Berwick when the brakes failed on my car...whilst towing a caravan Now that was fun.

Did you miss me?
I've had two very pleasant weeks in Scotland, with some, erm...interesting events.
I have taken hundreds ( literally )of photos, but haven't processed many yet to show, but they will be following shortly. Hopefully there will be some worthy of your praise

Is there anything I've missed while I've been gone?

I suppose, if I go on gut instinct, the first cover which sprang to mind when I saw this question is

Followed a very close second by this, if only for the work which went into it. Apparently it took longer to "write the cover" than it did to write the album
