Excellent work Steve

Excellent as always Steve.

Quick question, why is there 2 peaks in the afternoon? Does the second one get up late?

Maybe a little vignette to focus on the centre. Great shots like these can be made greater.

With a vignette? Can’t see how that will do these any good at all.

I wouldn’t. Not just because I don’t like the things as a device to focus or draw the eye in - the subject and it’s placement within the frame plus the whole composition should do that.

A vignette is a poor and obvious way to focus the viewers attention - a proper carefully thought out composition is all you need. Frame what you want to frame - and don’t frame what you don’t.

If you don’t want someone to see a part of a scene - or want them to struggle to see it - why have it in the composition?

I don’t agree - processing for the sake of processing sake isn’t a good thing.

Yes, very nice Steve. Oh for conditions like this and being able to get there.

The morning shot is my preference
