Lovely, as always. Can I ask you how you go about metering your Velvia shots, please, Roger?
Thanks. I use a Gossen Luna Pro with 7½/15° 'spot' attachment. With that particular shot obviously the most important thing is the sky so I metered with the 'spot' attachment set to 15° pointed at the sky. Then I checked the reflection in the pool, which was about the same. I didn't bother to meter the darker areas of rock and just accepted that some of it was going to be completely black. With Velvia's very narrow dynamic range I find the best thing is to find a foreground where the EV is not far below that of the sky, so water or wet sand that will reflect the light of the sky is ideal.
