Very nice Fujigraph Sir, showing some good texture & light.
George.
Nice shot
Thank you both for the kind comments, much appreciated.

Just a simple Fujigraph of part of the Sternwheel on the General Jackson Showboat that operates on the Cumberland River out of Nashville TN (My Hometown ).
General Jackson was built by Jeffboat in Jeffersonville, Indiana and launched in 1985. Though built to resemble a vintage steam-powered riverboat, it is actually powered by diesel generators which power two 600 horsepower (450 kW) electric motors, which in turn propel a 24-foot-diameter (7.3 m), 36-ton sternwheel. The boat has a capacity of 1,200 passengers and 157 crew members. She is 274 feet (84 m) long (300 feet (91 m) with gangway extended), has a 63-foot-6-inch (19.35 m) beam (width), is 77 feet (23 m) tall with her folding smokestacks fully extended (the folding stacks are necessary because of low bridge clearances), and has a draft of 7 feet (2.1 m).

for looking.,
George.
"Excellent" Fujigraph Sir, well composed, great colour and plenty of foreground interest.
George.
Love it Graham, cracking shot and colours.
Cracking image only ever visited there the once but I found it almost impossible to get down to the shoreline due to my disability GR8 shot though.
Great capture with really nice colours
Nice one George. Got any showing all the boat ?
I kinda like that, but part of me wants to see what the tree is like from the other side, without he clutter of houses etc.XT2 10-24 combo, Taupo Bay in the Bay of Islands north of Auckland, New Zealand. Not a bad spot to spend a relaxing week.

That's quite clever - I like it
Can't help but feel she's about to flash the tourists...
Thanks Phil! Here's another shot from Wytham Woods,a but more subtle. No autumn colour, but it was too nice a tree to ignore...

Love that last dash of colour, great spot...
At first glance I thought it was a forest fire!
Thanks Graham! I must admit I'm not quite certain about the composition, which falls into two halves without as much connection between them as I'd like. But the light on the foreground interest was too nice to resist! It's good to hear it works for you, at least.That works a treat David for a man who struggles in woodland thats a lovely shot.

Very true! Tomorrow there is supposed to be fog first thing, and snow (all good) but no sun all day (doh!). If I were feeling energetic, I would probably head into Oxford before sunrise, and take pictures under the artificial lights. But I'm not . So I'll probably take the easier option and aim for the end of the day instead. Then again, the forecast may change, I suppose.I know hat you mean but for me my the first thing I look at is the tree on the left before it wanders down the lane. Oh for a bit of mist and a few rays of sunshine.
Lovely version! Yes, it's a well known spot, but there's a reason And I don't think I've seen this composition before, although others may be better versed than I.One of the most iconic views of UK landscape but since I was driving pass and never been there before it seemed rude not to.

Fuj X-T2 & 10-24
Grandson No2's Birthday last week. Not sure about the "up the nose" look but I was trying to capture the older portrait in the shot and trying to bounce the flash in such a way that it wasn't reflected on his glasses or the older portrait.
Unfortunately I failed so ended up combining two shots where the reflections were better controlled.

Thank you George, that’s much appreciatedTwo very nice Fujigraphs Sir, and work well in mono, liking both of these very much, particularly the expressions on the children's faces in #1.
