NIce shots. #2 seems "righter" to my eye and fits the Man/Nature title a bit better imho.
Great shots Paul
I just love those colours and the lighting.
Cheers Dave
Bobo, thank you and I also like #2 best for the same reason.
Donald, that is something I tried to capture in this shot, so I am glad you see it as well. The sky was dark and light in all the right spots and I felt it not only worked with the fountain structure but also complimented the trees and hillside slope.
Superb shots Paul. I especially liked #'s 1 and 2 in the lightbox.
Thanks guys, I was really just out putting the new magic light collecting box threw it's paces. I am quite pleased all around.
Yes Mike, I have until now stuck with my A100 Sony. While a fine camera in it's own right, being Sony's first DSLR it is a bit dated and had some slight issues. Beside who does not like new toys. So, not wanting to change my whole kit and switch brands I am now the proud owner of a new A77.
