Kurt: Great composition with the tug, bridge and birds. Very cold looking.

Cindy: Nice capture. I forgot the London Bridge was in Arizona.

Cheers,

You have a real knack of showing us just how wonderful that lens can be... very nice.

M9 and 35lux.

"Ice breaker", eh? I always used to try to break the ice with something inane like, "do you come here often?". or just offer to buy a drink. Never thought about trying a boat or a bridge.

(Nice shot, btw... looks very cold there!)

Thanks all for wise comments and sound advice!

About the hero/lead part. The point is; he regards himself a hero as well - especially in the mountains around all those sheep. If he didn´t have that lead, they´d all be skinny and worn out from his heroic guidance (herding).

John - your grandchildren are beautiful.
F1 - what a great shot of the oyster salesman.
Here is another snowy shot:

Tell me about dogs and sheep - But I wasn't suggesting for a second that you shouldn't use a lead . . . . just that it shouldn't be in a heroic photo . . . a bit like having a fence in the background in the Monarch of the Glens!

Thanks Jono, here is another picture and you can see his harvest field

Jono - those winter shots are great. That old tree is teffific. I also have a couple I´ve tried to capture for a long time without succeeding. They just stand there looking good.

I did get your point about the lead - it´s not very heroic.

Wonderful bloke - don't fancy harvesting in that mud, weather looks pretty dreek as well!

Here's one of the church in our local town . . as it is not often seen!

Color shot is better. Did you use a polarizing filter?

HI Tom
I'll be interested to see if others agree.
No polarising filter, but I did use a red filter in Silver efex pro when converting to black and white.

I find the very dark sky on the B&W looks too artificial; it reminds me of IR pics of which I am not a big fan. Then again, it looks like a night shot by moonlight with a full moon. BTW, around here (Minnesota) a snowbound church is normal.

Jaap....Just Amazing!!
Leif,Simple,Elegant winter shot! 1st Doggy shot for me!
Jono,Neckwarmer...Splendid! Love the character in that special tree! B&W church shot for me.
Kurt,i can feel the bonechill from the boat image! Excellent IQ!
Cindy..Brilliant! Love It!

Jono,

Actually, I prefer the B&W version. It has some serious punch and just really works for me.

Keep in mind, I shoot almost 100% color and process almost 100% color... so for me to like the B&W.... well, you get the point.

PS - I just noticed that the tree leaves in the upper left corner seem to have halos on them. Perhaps from your SilverFX processing?
