Perhaps try returning the lens - this one seems to be producing erratic distortions!

As presented, the horizontal image edges in front, probably as Paul suggests, because of the apparent depth in the image. The vertical looks a bit odd somehow, but it might have been in the lead for me if it had been shot that way, rather than rotated.

Thank you to all above for viewing and helpful comments.

All the best.

The light is very attractive in all these and my favourites are the setting sun silhouettes.

The near symmetry with the bold central shadow is good. It might also be possible to make a 'bridge and shadows' image in a right hand side crop, to give more emphasis to the crisscross shadows.

Number 10 - lovely photo - feel the cold!

This was one of the sets of images I made for a recent practical challenge at our local photography club. We were requested to take three quite different shots from the same spot. I parked in the car park of a nearby village church, and took these shots either through the open window or the open door of the car:

Hitchcock's "The Birds" becomes reality.

What about surface tension: alcohols have about one third that of water - doesn't that make it easier for them to flow around WR seals? A wipe with an anti-bac damp cloth sounds better than alco-spray for cleaning the gear safely.

I agree, Gwyn, and if the Government enforce home isolation on all senior citizens, hopefully there will be widespread non-violent protest agaiinst that edict by people of all ages. Instead the contrary behaviour should be encouraged - those who are able and symptom free should be able to enjoy a walk with the dog and/or in the park and/or in the countryside, provided everyone of every age-group keeps their distance from one another. It must be of great benefit to physical, emotional, psychological and immune system health to continue enjoying such simple activities particularly during spring and summer. To deny the elderly those valuable pleasures, when for some it might be their last year in this world anyway, is nothing short of cruel and outrageous.

Local photo club meetings cancelled here until further notice.
