Good test run! Really nice colours on all these. Enjoy the new kit

I'm particularly partial to a railing photograph (we all have our foibles :blush - and great colours on yours, looks a good location. With this depth of field, tho', I wonder if focusing on the second stand might have looked better (throwing nearest one out of focus).

Yes - really like the way she(?) is clocking you from the corner of her eye. Great catch. Which lens did you use???

Great to see the greenfinch. We used to get them here but none recently - I think they've been in general decline in the UK

#5 is the standout IMHO . Love the arc and clash of red on blue.

Thanks Gwyn

Two comments now suggesting #3 might be better in portrait mode ... so at the risk of voiding the vote form and complicating things even further...

#3 version 2

With a portrait crop and a slightly toned down sky.

Better ? Best???

Thanks for the responses so far.

The horizon in No 2 is slightly off square, and I find the blue of the sky in No 3 a little weird.
Many thanks Kris. I've probably over-fiddled with the sky in #3 (the temptation of Lightroom grads can be overwhelming :blush but this is easily toned down. The horizon in #2 was fixed in LR to the white band of still water... but the assymetrical trees do still give it an 'off-kilter' look. Possibly not resolvable...

Well done GlynM - have to admit this was my favourite of the batch as well!

Big thanks also to DigitalCG for the topic and judging - I'm absolutely sure the summer's having an impact on the number of entries to the comps, but really enjoyed the entries to this one.

These are great, and the IR certainly gives a new perspective on loco shots esp. when you've got trees in the background.

#1 is a knockout - stunning composition.
