Nigell I think these are brilliant! I would have never seen these scenes and never thought of using negative space this way.

#1 is my pick of these. Brilliant in a dark sort of way
#2 needs to lose the dark object marring the reflections slightly to the right of centre Otherwise great.
#3 works better for me in the small image. Maybe it would be better on white than on black. The black emphasises the lightness of the "blacks" in the image itself.

Thanks for the comment guys. I toyed with the idea of removing the bouy from the second image, Still undecided thought I would get others opinions on that one. If I were to pick my fav it would be the third one. Partly because of the light and the fog, but I really like the way the road is lit without light (well not the fog lit light if that makes sense). In the larger image a3 you get to explore it a bit more than you do on the 1000x which makes it a little different. Loved shooting them though. Any chance I get a chance to shoot in fog I will leap at it. These were shot at 1:30am and it was pretty cold. Fun in the winter

The first is very nice (and without a doubt my favourite)... if only you had a bit more width in the image it would have made a very nice pano wall hanging. The colours add an air of mystery that cant really be done as effectively with black and white, but I do urge you to do a conversion just to see.

I like that you've given the images plenty of space. All to often some photographers crop tightly and that kind of rams the image into your face. Empty space in a photograph is like a silent moment in music. Nice work!
