A variety of fairly recent shots I have taken...

Great symetry. Great reflection. I love the red color in there. A very nice shot Sir. 😀

Morning Florida. Well, it is here in the UK. How come you're posting at such an unsociable hour across the pond?
Anyway, I have differing advice for the first and third shots. For the first, I 'd lose a little of the blue tone and try to introduce a touch of warmth, the sand looks unnaturally blue. And the opposite for the last, which I rather like. I'd desaturate the green grass a little to add to the slightly surreal vibe, leaving a pleasantly contrasting blue and gold palette.
And if anyone thinks I'm being unusually harsh, that's the way Florida likes it...

Retirement has done that to me. Frequently my most productive hours of the day are very early morning. I can sleep whenever I want to, so I do. 😀

You are right. I didn't notice that but I do now.

Wormy is right about that. I'm not going to learn anything or get better if folks always tell me my shots are great.

Last Rays

Strolled down to the local wetland hide last night to catch the last of the sun as it dipped below Bow Fell.
The layers in the landscape called for a little multi-exposure...

As the sun gradually slid down working it's way over Crinckle Crags...

towards Bow Fell.

This is stunning. I was looking for Russell Crowe dragging his hands through the grass.

Masterful.

The first is my favourite. The shutter speed for the waves is just right. I'm not a fan of the sprawling architecture in the background but I guess that represents the reality.

In the distance

Hot and humid weather is enveloping the world.

George

I like the b&w treatment and the shadows.
Good choice.

Brilliant reflection.

Classic.

Intensity of the light is remarkable.

Yup - hot here for sure. Lighthouses are such great subjects.

Now I feel I need to know about George. Does he come from Erith?
