Gearoid,
2 lovely images, a brilliant start to your new addicyion on PI.
First one makes you cold looking at it and the second one is a brillant image.
Two very nice images, the first would also be my favourite but I think it would be better if you had included the rest of the bridge on the right hand side. Only a small thing as I think it’s an excellent shot.
Well done with your first image post here.
They are 2 very good photographs as well.
I think they are well composed and exposed.
#1 is a beautiful winter scene.
#2 is a lovely example of a simple uncluttered image.
I have tried (by scrolling) cropping #2 just above the
frosty bit of field in the lower part of the frame and I
think it makes an interesting alternative composition.
Just a thought and not a criticism.
