Welcome Ben

I'm impressed. We're a talented bunch us Newcastle chappies aren't we :wink:

I'm with the others - the last one is superb.

I really like the Dudley one too, but I'd like to see the foreground a little more cropped out. PS Good to see you've stopped lurking and joined. You'll find us a friendly bunch.

Without getting too off topic, I'm well Ben and glad to see you finally took my advice and joined. Having never seen any of your pics I'm a little taken aback at the quality of these as a first post. You've set yourself a high bar for future posts.

As I think I mentioned to your off board, pippin88 here is another Newcastle med student like yourself with an interest in photography.

Sorry to say, but all your shots stink.

Seriously, they are superb and reek of quality 8)

Truly impressive stuff!

I'm with Huynhie, love the colors here. The sky complements the green in the moss nicely.
Love the final shot too.

Ben, if only the Knights could play footy half as good as your shots, they would be near the top of the ladder!

Did you do much post processing with these? If so, maybe the saturation (especially the yellows) needs to come back just a tad. If not, these shots are amazing!

Those are some very nice shots, Ben. The last 4 are excellent, IMO. :D

Great shots mate. The last one is my fave, the colours are fantastic and the reflection in the foreground balances the pic wonderfully. Welcome to the forum.

Ben,
a great set of shots. There's not much better than the seaside and early or late sun, and you've captured the moments beautifully.

Thank you all for your encouraging comments. I hope to contribute more in the future. On the other hand I might leave it at that and quit while I'm ahead.
