Love #1. I'm not sure about the crop suggested by Thoughton - it was my first thought as well but then the dark walls lead you into the shot and it may take something from the shot.

I found the shot pretty creepy as well - in an, in films 'all bad things happen in tunnels' kinda way.

Beautiful shot.

Crack that whip !

I think it would be very difficult for any photographer / camera / lense to shine in those conditions !

Hope to see similar subjects once the fog lifts !

#4 & #5 are my favourites (esp. 4). Lovely. Trefor rings a bell - my parents live in Ruthin.

i-Berg, Prieni, Bollicina, Philstaff & Bill - thank you very much for looking and your kind comments. Much appreciated !

I have both. Whilst the Tamron is an excellent lense for the money the Pentax 55-300 is in another league altogether and unbelievable value for money. No Brainer. Get the Pentax before it goes.

I'm assuming that was with the 55-300 Chris ? Pretty damn good shot (I'd just lower the exposure a tad though) !

Thought some of you might be interested so here I'm posting the results of the voting on these shots. It was a very revealing exercise because I really had no idea how people would vote and in the end I was surprised a little.

Voting was across 3 forums, 3 points for a 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for a 3rd :

#1 = 30
#2 = 34
#3 = 61
#4 = 12
#5 = 14
#6 = 10

My own preference ?

1. #1
2. #3
3. #6 & #2

But I keep changing my mind

Thank you all for your comments and your votes !

+2

Wouldn't change anything. Like a still from one of those 'aliens in the cornfields' films.

I know I posted a comment on this but again I have this mental block and keep hitting the 'Return to Forum' button instead of the 'Add Comment' (pleaaase make it bigger Mods) !!

Ok again - because this shot is worth stating it again.

Gorgeous composition, colour & light. A beautiful shot that holds your interest while you explore the photo.


..... now where is that damn Add Comment button ...
