Finally processed shot from last month when we had a really great sunny snowy morning :) My favourite weather!

Thanks for the comments everyone :D It was just one of those moments when you know the shots are going to look pretty good when you get back home, was also pretty fun driving down that round after taking the shots, though it go a bit hairy up near those trees when the car just went straight on at a right hand bend :| and then a bit further on it took me about 400 yards to stop for another shot I wanted (which didnt turn out too good in the end)

Loving no.4 for the subtlety and loving the rest for providing the complete opposite.

I might be tempted to try fudging in a little more graduation around the sunblown areas in the 1st three. Although I'm looking on the laptop screen, which whilst not too bad is not totally accurate in the top highlights.

Will certainly be back to look at these many times. :thumbs:

4th one is the pick of the bunch for me, great lighting & good foreground detail

The other 3 have great drama but the blown sun just takes the edge of them a little, still dramatic shots though

Jimmy - those are something else!!

As others have said - the sky looks on fire!! I think it has to be number 4 for me.

Nice one!! :)

Nigel

really nice set of photos :thumbs:

[phil collins]

Fantastic set Jimmy, I can only dream of being around when a scene like that presents itself, nice work sir

[Les McLean]

4th for me also, and I think it's because the sun is slightly off centre, that makes it work better than t'others.

[woollyback]

Great shots but last one for me is a bit special

Number 4 stands out miles for me... Cracking? Lead in of the lane and stone wall is excellent!

[james_death]

great set, great scenery.....but swarms of bees in pic 1...

[staffitaxi]

Great set.

But fourth is also my favourite

[Rocket]

I like the fact there is no tyre tracks, which may have spoilt them. Excellent, Love them all.:thumbs:

[Matt]

Lovely set Jimmy :thumbs:

[WanderingMind]

Great set Jimmy :clap: you definalty have an eye for composition.
The last is the best for me, only a slight niggle but the wall on the left is a little distracting, slighty chromed looking.

[Alan Neilson]

Not sure about the first shot, really like the others

[davidbridges]

First one looks like a volcano eruption with ash falling althoug the third one is great !!!

[tank]

first images are a bit too 'shopped for me. I think the last one it the most realistic and effective.
