    Oh, this is the one I like!!! It's evenly lit pretty much throughout and the texture is wonderful. My eye jumps through the puddles which makes it fun.

    Great image!

    I like this shot, but would have liked just a smidge more sky in it.

    Definately a neat shot, and a more interesting and random texture than your previous shot. A little more sky might have helped, but it does well as is. Great shot,

    This is very nice with nice depth. The line of the horizon is unusually white. It's hadly a wave starting it's journey to shore? There is a timeless feel to this and your last one. There's nothing in the compositions to tell us that these could not have been taken 100 years ago.
    Both very well presented also.

    I am enjoying your tidal plain series. This one is nice as well. The inclusion of the trees in the g stops me from leaving the frame, and sends me back down through the shot.

    Another good one juzzus. I especially like the dark tones of the mud here and the imbalance the bushes create on the left side. Lovely pattern is also created by the water puddles. Great shot.

    Very good, Juzzus. Interesting textures and great use of vertical composition. I'm not sure about the trees in the bg on one side, seems a little off balance, but it still works for me. Nicely done

    Re: More Tidal Plain ...

    Another great one, juzzus. I don't think the bg trees bother me all that much. Adding a little more sky may have balanced them out more, but still very much the keeper. You shoot film, or digital? Just wondered what it was if film.

    Oh, did I mention I was jealous? ;)

    Btw, how do you convert your colour to B&W? You do a good job at it.

    Ahhhhh, Velvia. Never really got to shoot much of the 50, but have done a little with the 100. Think I may need to go out and get some more. I know what you mean, though. With films like that and their results, I'll wait for the developing. You do a very good job with b/w conversion by the way.
