The canal

[Martyn]

I drive past this landscape regularly and often say to myself, "when I have the time I will come back with my camera". This week I had the time but it was raining and cold, but I set off out anyway. By the time I got there the sun had come out and the sky was just what I would have wanted. The words of Anthony Morganti (photographer, look him up on Youtube) were echoing in my ears; "work the scene, walk round, look for a better angle and take plenty of shots!" I certainly took plenty of shots and these are some of the best. But I still can't help feeling there is more to be got from this landscape, I think I need to go back again and look for that something I've missed.

Absolutely loving that first shot.

Nice set, Martyn.

It looks almost icy. I bet you were cold while getting the shots.

one and three are my favourites but they are certainly some lovely shots, what beautiful landscape ! 

 

is it me though or are no 1 and no 4 the same ?

Hmm, I think you're right Heather. I've got to go out now but I'll fix that when I get back!

I especially like the first and last shots Those trees in the first have clearly found "a better angle"

3 for me Martyn, superb images

1 for me (and 4)

The motion in the clouds, trees and water from the swans / geese give this image movement

There is just one point what is the square flare? above the white houses on the left It needs doctoring

From when you joined the forum to now you havnt hung about improving your skills these are good

1 and 3 for me too. A great set but I love the reflections in 3 and the way the canal leads your eye to the bridge

[Martyn]

Thank you for all the comments, you are all too kind. I've amended my original post so that there are no duplicates. I was just going to delete one of the pictures, but I think it looks better if things are in odd numbers.

That looks to be a superb picture location, Martyn, lovely set, especially Nos 1 and 3, for me.

These are truly fabulous images... I would have been extremely happy to have captured any one of them...

A lovely set - these would look good on a calendar.
