Bronte - Sometimes the sun doesn't rise
Especially if it's drizzling and about to pi$$ down....
 A group of brave souls went out this morning to check out the Bronte pools anyways... I took a total of 34 photos (including test shots etc). I could probably keep just one... I can't help but feel there were quite a few shots that I missed. For your critique. PS: Gerrry can you see the green on this one?

Re: Bronte - Sometimes the sun doesn't rise
This shot is stunnning! The gentle light and the brooding sky is great.
Well done, the early bird got the worm! Nice work. I think this would look great biiig! I like how the rails help lead into the shot, nice leading lines...the loan swimmer in the pool helps give a perspective on the size of things and how 'small' man is compared to nature...there's a lot to like in this pic!

Re: Bronte - Sometimes the sun doesn't rise
pfffttt.. ya call that green?! that is one fine shot suren, compositionally, from that spot ya could have not done better - all the lines are intersecting the right bits! With that cloud cover the possibilities with the long exposures and the pool water are endless - something you cannot get from days where the sun comes blasting up! gerry's photography journey
No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
Re: Bronte - Sometimes the sun doesn't rise
Thanks everyone for their comments. I did like how it looked on the camera LCD. The ones without the swimmer was definitely not as strong!
I did have my green EL wire in the bag..... Maybe we'll use it during the lightpainting meet....  Infact I think we should wrap you up in it and make a living sculpture out of it.... 
Hmm.. the thought did cross my mind but I was too focused on getting the bleeding swimmers to keep still... Where is that ten stopper when you need it... Infact I did have a piece of welding glass (11-12 stops I think) in my bag. Guess what color cast it produces.... I need to make that DIY stopper out of it. Need some super glue.I have had a re-look at some of the images and managed to salvage one more...did a wee bit more processing on this one.... 
Re: Bronte - Sometimes the sun doesn't rise
 as long as I don't get zapped by some dodgy wiring...
I like it , good choice on the BW conversion. gerry's photography journey

It's only two AA batteries... I thought you were tougher than that...
