Newport Wetlands

[Kei]

Took the D810 and F5 along with the intention of trying to get some wildlife shots but sadly not a lot was out to see so did some landscapes instead as the weather was just turning from sunny and bright to showery. Still haven't finished the film in the F5, not used to getting 36 images per film, more like 10-15. All taken using an old manual focus nikon 300mm f2.8 AI-s.

1st for me. The others are good but too bleak for my tastes.

There's a warmth and yet excitement visible in one. I'd crop it a little differently putting the building either dead central or more off central.

Great moods you've achieve there, Kyle!
My pick is frame one… absolutely!

All good, but first 3 are stronger than 4.

Nice set
I like 2 and love 3 not to keen on 4 but again 1 is good.

Thank you all, I also took a landscape version of number one which I hadn't bothered uploading. Was difficult deciding between the two, unsure as to whether the sign post on the right detracted overall.

The sign post does detract a little. If you can clone it out would enhance as the composition rocks.

You were indeed correct Steve, all cloned out and much better overall.

Thank's Ruth/Steve, very pleased with the result. (needed the prod to clone out the distracting bit) I took a very similar photo of the same lighthouse last year and I think this one has bettered it. (that one got turned into a 20x16" canvas)
