A fascinating set giving a taste of a lost time. Much as I love B&W, and hence #1, it's # 2 and 7 for me. Number 2 is just brilliant - great light and great DoF.

Very nicely done. Congratulations on the framing, its' very difficult to frame the Priory effectively from that side of the Wey.

I went to Iceland back in 1972 (on a school trip), what an amazing place, I still remember it very well. I must still have my old colour slides hidden away somewhere taken on a ????????? (not a Pentax). I also went here, and it looks like Hraunfossar to me, but I stand to be corrected by those more knowledgeable.

Really nice set, I think that your composition choices have worked very well.

If I had to pick one - it's # 2 for me, the positioning of the tower in the arch and the light through the window in the tower makes it.

Nicely done, and to great effect. I hope no sacrifices were involved!

I also use the Hoya Pro 1 and I'm very pleased with the performance, although I expect that any of the premium brands would work just as well. However, in my opinion it's just not worth while buying a cheap 'knock off' version.

The point about the benefit buying a larger version and using step-up/down rings is a good one, but don't forget to also buy a lens cap of the same size. But note Jonathan's point about the lens hood not fitting - that can be a real pain.

Really effective and a very interesting image.

Really nice set.

My favourite is #3 - I think that because you are 'a bit further out' the little 2nd leaf doesn't distract, but just gives an additional point of interest. However, I might be tempted to just tone down the highlight in the top tight corner a little.

I think that close-ups work well as well, definitely better without the little leaf for these, and I agree with Andy that the blue toned one is especially effective.
