Home territory

[David Paterson]

Our weather so far during this spring and early summer has been so bad and so very cold, I have done very little new photography recently. In the past couple of weeks I did manage to get a few images - some of them are attached.

Love the spectacular #2 and the idyllic #3 fittingly "framed".  Thank you for sharing!

[Frank Fremerey]

The first picture is exceptional. You live in a very besutigul place!!!

They were worth the wait

Thank you, Akira, Frank and Bent - much obliged.

The sheep, and her lamb, framed so perfectly through the apple trees is very special.

Spectacular scenes.  Lovely greens and skies.  The last one has odd purple shadows on my "good" monitor.

Thanks, Ann and Keith.

Keith - well-spotted - I hadn't noticed it myself. It's a little puzzling because I didn't do any colour-editing whatsoever; all I did was open up the shadows and do a gentle 2-stage sharpening. I'll go back to the raw file and see if I can learn anything,

I like the one with the sheep, it framed effectively by an interesting tree and the vegetation overall is beautiful, a riot of growth.

Thomas - thank you - good to hear from you.

Simone - I have had my eye on that tree for a long time (actually it's parts of 3 trees) but it always needed something more. The sheep provided that prefectly.

Almost missed these. Lovely series - the countryside looks green and summer-like despite the cold.

My favourites are #3 (very obliging sheep, well framed) and #7 (beautiful evening colours, threatened by nearby rain showers?).
