@daugirdas and I had a wee trip over to the bridge. Now, I didn't have my little stopper with me, and he did so his golden hour shot has a different feel to it.

1. Golden Hour - and a wee view of a Turbostar class 170

Really nice captures there, no1 in comparison to the rest is a non starter. The hues and colours in the sky are phenomenal, well done.
Sorry its for critique but I have no idea yet on how to critique a pic.

Lovely set Steve, other than the first they all have great tones and are all strongly composed. Agree about your own comment on 5, although a quick crop of the lower third improves it as is for me.

I like 2 & 6 the best. I like the angle you have on #6 as it is a bit different to the norm and the tones are nice. The rocks in the foreground are what makes #2.

The sky and foreground in #4 are great but the bridge gets a bit lost.

#1 does nothing for me, the others form a great set.
I think #2 is my favourite, I love the colours and think that the larger form of the rocks provides a better foreground interest as compared with #3, although I prefer the crop on the bridge in #3, the straight section just seems too long.

#4 The bridge seems too far away to become a significant part of this image
In #5 I feel the pipeline cutting across the middle of the scene ruins the shot.

(y) Good Job

Missed this first time round mate. All together they make a great set, a daily timeshot :) The 2nd and 4th are my favourites I think the tones are more pronounced and the forground is spot on. Personally I'm glad you didnt have your little stopper with you I think the movement in the water is just about perfect.
