Coming from Kent Simon?? With a bad back?? And still thinking of giving it a go???

Dedication to shame those of us merely mooching round the corner to get there

Ah, but you have proper weather. An mere inch of snow here and everything grinds to a halt. Whereas it takes an instantaneous dumping of a foot of water to slow you folk down...

More seriously... hope it sorts out for you OK!

Yup. Four terrific, contrasting shots.

Fascinating discussion this . I've enjoyed seeing the different takes on this - and Carl's crop shows just how much a minor tweak changes the image. Educational!

I'm still very much on for this, and looking forward to meeting the gang

Keeping my eye on the weather forecast! If promising i'm still up for a Mam Tor pre- meet meet ...

Whilst I like the first photo I love that last one. It has an ethereal feel to it.
The building draws the eye too much in the original I think, and the second one doesn't do much for me at all. The square crop just works.
Completely agree.

I like the first one... but I think it would need even more foreground for balance. The crops just too tight on the wall and building.

The streaks of snow make this a bit different from your everyday excellent robin shot

B***er. These are classy images.- particularly the first three. Tattoo artist is stunning, and I've seen and appreciated the first two before.

Keep em in for the next meet- they deserve to be seen !

Sorry Simon. Not sure this works for me

Your other various colour images from Llynnau Mymbyr are so very strong, this does not have the same impact - there seems to be less definition across the frame. Just my view though, and 'tothers clearly think differently
