Lovely shots Les, all very nicely shot 3 & 4 for me.
 
All great. Really like the colours in No.5
 
Number 5's the money shot. The 'S' curve of the beach echoed in the steam trails makes it for me.

Nice work, your patience was rewarded.
 
those huts, i see them all the time and i always think they'd make an interesting subject
 
Great set of shots Les, I like the unusualness of the last one, it reminds me somewhat of a Thunderbirds set. :clap:
 
Great stuff Les.

I particular like the grouping contrast in #2 and the snaking smoke in #5 which looks almost like a mini tornado is at work.

The relief of the well rendered sky in #3 is particularly enjoyable. ;)
 
Brilliant shots (y)
3 & 5 gets my vote (just added 4) And 4 (y)
Hard to pick one I dont like
 
Very nice. Never used an ND filter. These have made me want to play with one.. damn more cost :)
 
#5 is my favourite, great capture
 
Very good set with no4 my fav (y)

On site accommodation looks basic in no2 :D
 
Top notch as always Les :) First and last for me (y) Love the swirling smoke/stream in the last shot!

P.S - Was I the only one giggling at the title of this thread? I expected it to be in Nudes and Glamour :(
 
#3 for me Les, love the sky. Like the sea in #1 but the top feels a wee bit empty for some reason.
 
Excellent shots there Les, superb :clap:
 
wow!

I like them all bar the second... I don't find it hold my eye for long, perhaps something more in the sky? Not sure really. The others though are spot on to be quite honest with you. wonderfull work :)

Firt one almost works but the sky is a bit bright. Last for me, love the eye leading s-curve (except where you cropped it on the right :|) ...

I had to crop it, there was some bloke stood there muttering 'eeh bah gum, Ich bin ein Berliner like;
no choice really :) ;)
 
Wow, that last shot is fantastic. I am going to have to get myself one of the ND thingy's. Which ND filter do you recommend?
 
Thanks Les. That is much cheaper than I was expecting it to be. I had been looking for one for the Lee filter system and the prices were very steep.

I got mine from fotosense (slightly cheaper than WE)

Although they go upto around £50 for a 77mm version !!!!
 
A terrific set of shots Les to be honest there is not one to choose as they all have a different slant on life at Paddy,s Hole, only been once myself a that was the other week weather wasn't to brilliant but a check of the area meant I know I need to return as the photo opportunities are endless around this place.
