Were you expecting something else? :biggrin:

I couldn't resist this as the light was so beautiful this morning.

Cheers,
Chris

Superb! The backlighting shows up the twisty trunk of the tree which would probably have been invisible in daylight. Clouds are great and there's even a bird in the top left of the tree which I think adds quite a lot.

the sky and light are very nice Chris. Maybe I'd prefer the tree a little more off centre, but then again maybe not.

Beautiful lighting Chris, like the clouds in the BG.

Good thinking Chris. Even when we are going for a perticular subject we are surrounded by all sorts of subjects to take. Would have like the tree slightly more off center and that bird is a nice addition.

Thanks for the comment guys.

I was in the middle of composing this shot when this little bloke (Danny someone) came up and asked me to move cos I was in the way of his shot! Cheek! I think here was running an errand for someone else. Anyway, that's why it isn't quite right compositionally for some of you. :biggrin:

Good to put some faces to names – hope you got the images you [Danny] were after.

Cheers,
Chris

I wouldn't bother looking Danny; the 'ridge' shots look rubbish! At least with the wall I had a midtone to meter off! :biggrin:

Cheers,
Chris

A fine silhouette and enough cloud to keep the sky interesting. :cool:
