Great lighting Carl, which you have emphasised well and brought out the contrasts. A beautiful composition also. I think I would prefer it if the extreme black shadows in the clouds were lifted a bit ...

Yes, many interesting elements make up the whole, and it makes you want to climb over the fence and head to those them there hills!

Agree on the colour - that works beautifully!

That looks like a great performing lens, and I know you will make the most of it!

A great image, dramatic side light and a strong sky - it has it all!

Agreed on that! I like the way you have got the clouds balancing the left side with the rising oilseed field to the left, and the fence very tight in works as well.

That worked out well! A good subject for the treatment.

Yes, that works very well - I like the slight wobbly effect on the lines and the peek into the distance through the gap.

Just seen this Peter, and it has a strange lonely atmosphere, perhaps appropriate considering the mothballing! I like the bright heat-haze almost shimmering through the distance, and the high sun blue cast.

For a second there I thought that might be a 'vintage effect' Peter! Then it might not even be considered a photo :shock: Well, I'm not worried about that - main thing I feel is that the processing suits the subject, and it certainly does here I think, so a good choice! Has good atmosphere, and a lot of fine detail on the building textures.
