Nice Number 1 in particular

1 Iike, the line of square supports leads you in as does the direction of the cloud movement above.

Re 2 and 3. In each image there's a better take to be had. I don't know how deep the water is but I'd have waded in to roughly where the 3rd square thingeemagig is and set up there facing straight into the abbey ruin. The colours and reflection are enough to carry it off I reckon

Pretty magical set. Like them all.

 

[Delta Skies]

Super set of 3 but #1 is something special Les.

 

[andyred]

Super set of shots, but number 1 is my favourite and a very special capture

 

[viv1969]

I don't really have any crit, so I will simply say I like these images very much!

 

[MartinCornwall]

Stunning set. No 1 is the best for me then No. 3. Great location.

 

[lightshipman]

Nice set, prefer number one though, like the Central lead in of the stones

 

[Buck]

All great Les.

I like the sky in #1 - works really well as a colour long exposure.

 

[TheAndyA]

Beautiful!

 

[alan72]

1 for me, nicely composed with the steps leading you into the clouds, looks like you had fun!!

 

[Irishman]

First one works for me while the last one is a bit over powering imo.

 

[Rudlin]

#3 my choice. Something about the water. Satisfying feeling.

 

[woollyback]

Love the range of tones in the first shot. Keep meaning to head out here for a shoot, seeing these has definitely increased my urgency

 

[saglik]

They are all quite impressive.
No 1 is the best for me.

Not sure this is the place to be looking for freebies........ but it's entirely up to Les, of course.

Amazing colors and composition, good job, thanks for sharing.

 

[Gupster]

#1 for me for the reasons given above. Its a beauty.

Not much to add really except it might benefit from a tiddly bit of perspective correction perhaps (converging verticals)?
