Thanks for the feedback guys.
XP2 is a little too grainy and lacks in contrast. Too many shades of grey, not enough white or black. Also I'm getting into true black and white film lately (stuff I can dev at home).

Colour wouldn't have worked imho. The clouds were dramatic but colours were too muted that day. I think the image would have far less impact if it had been taken in colour. I think I need to go back to the negative and underexpose the trees a little though to bring out the detail (they are a little too dark atm).

No idea what the wheel rim was for, it was too heavy to move, I just was wandering about looking for something to help give the picture a little focus or interest and it was lying there. I have a series of additional images taken using Tmax 100 from that spot and from the cliffs above I will hopefully have the roll finished and devved in the next few weeks (have a backlog at present). The XP2 just skipped the queue being C41. I think the later shots had slightly better composition and a much more dramatic sky - the front rolling in couldn't have been clearer. It was a distinct rolling mass of cloud and sweeping rain that just rolled over the headland as I was setting up. Also I will tweak the horizon just a smidgeon - as you say it is just imperceptibly off, thanks for pointing it out.
Both above images were taken using a tripod, an orange filter, 2 stop Graduated ND for the sky and a 3 stop ND to try and give a little more movement in the water/reeds (was shooting 400 ISO). This is one of the first weekends I've shot using a tripod for each shot and using a handheld light meter to accurately measure the different zones. Really enjoyed the extra time to think, to compose, to contemplate the choice of filters and not be rushing or guessing.

This was taken 2 weekends ago on a sunny way wandering around the end of the Harbour-side in Bristol. I just liked the abstract qualities it had and am pleased it came out as I visualised. The 19mm gives a nice distortion to exaggerate it (this is a dual carriageway btw) and the red filter helped up the contrast that day - it was very bright.
Also just because... a friend took a video on his DSLR of me setting up on the clifftop swapping lenses above the beach a little after shot 2 was taken. So enjoy the GIF he made using 'moviegram'.
Just to put the scene in context.
