A few of the Shropshire countryside

[Carlh]

Seeing another thread this morning with some trees that framed the image, I realised i had something similar I shot a few weeks ago but never got around to popping the images up.

All taken at Leegomery, Telford. Just a few minutes from home.

Thanks for looking

All interesting ... but the avenue through the trees especially so

Hi Carl,

The second image is by far and away the pick of the set, though I question the inclusion of the spiky foreground leaves (?) that intrude through the bottom of the frame; as they are so bright compared to the rest of the scene around them they can't help but drag the eye away from what is a very striking and well executed scene. I do like the quality of the PP on this one and you've achieved a very pleasing tonal balance to go with the compositional balance you present us with. Is it right to have the focus point so central? I think it is actually and, above points notwithstanding, I think this is an excellent image. Thanks for sharing.

Hi carl,

I thought i recognized the landscape, i'm a telfordite too (tho live in wolves now).

I think number 2 is the clear winner here, apley woods i take it?

but i do like number 3 too, it has a very mystical feel too it with the sun rays thro' the clouds.

very good pics.

cheers

[Big Nick]

All are good shots

I agree with the others, no2 is the out and out winner

thanks guys, appreciate the time you took to comment. Geof, my pp skills suck big time, lol, though I think its improving, very very slowly lol.

The spikey grass unfortunately was no way around it other than to have climbed over into the field/forest, which was on private land.

Mark, it is a lane on the way to hoo farm, from leegomery.

Here's a portrait version, which the more I look at it, favours more than number#2

i also fall into that category...when you are on a roll its hard to ease back..especially in black to white...i tend to over contrast and i think with the dodging it comes out over sharpened

i did like 2 and forgot to congratulate you on that

cheers
