Hi Solyad,

Welcome to PI and I hope you enjoy being a member here.

Two lovely images to start with and as a fan of early or late light
I really like them.

I think #2 is a little more successful although it’s hard to choose.
I like the way the light is reflecting off the wet stones.

On first viewing I thought #1 was a little dark but then it is a little dark. :)

Well done with these and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Cheers,

Jophn.

Thanks all ;)

I’ve another from that set there. This one got featured on Flickr Explore this weekend…
Looks like a nice evening this evening… tempted to head back out there again…

Hi Solyad,

I like that new image very much.

Lovely colours.

Some don’t like people in landscapes although I don’t think they take away from this one and
if anything maybe give a sense of scale .

Might I be bold enough to suggest a small crop off the bottom to make an alternative image.

Very nice.

John.

Hi 5faythe

Thanks for the comments. You’ve given me an idea on alternate crops. I’ve tried a few in lightroom and it’s interesting the different perspectives I’m getting out of the image…

Also, I’d normally be the last person to put people in a landscape shot but I thought it would kinda work here…

I gave it a go… not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind but I like this…
