Great set Les, and agree, number 4 is a beauty!

Thanks, it is my favourite also, and was one of those shots , will it or won't it work, shooting through glass (or perspex) is always difficult, especially when it's damp and misted up. I focussed on the glass rather than the girl hoping the effect would be a soft/other worldly glow to the subject, while still retaining detail. I think the slightly misted glass has added to the effect also.

Superb as said #4 is fab, like to see #2 in Black and White.
Good job on the fill.

Have seen a lot of your work from events like these Les and you never disappoint with the quality and composition of your work. Superb as always.

Great set Les. #4 is superb.

We enjoyed it last year and were planning on going today but the forecast put us off.

[cowboy]

Great set.

I've seen quite a few from this event and I thought they were good but yours take it to a different level.

The shots of the ladies are stunning.

 

[Sirius]

A great set but, as others have stated, No' 4 is the money shot! Superb image!

 

[fido18]
