didn't realise how bad the country roads are until I tried to go to Loch Calder! Decided it was safer not to bother!

I love the colours in the sheep photo - and the fact that they all seemed to be posing for you.

dragonfly,

Love the tyre tracks, beautiful light, very well caught. I like the Wind Turbines,beautifully exposed, but I think the picture would be stronger if you cropped some of the left hand side off so that the image is more focused on the turbines, doesn't need much.

dragonfly,

A bit too much, just past the first group of plant stems, i.e. about 10% in.

Dragonfly, one of the principle concepts with photography is something called "The rule of thirds".

Best to google this for more information.

Your first shot is already very close. As NL suggests a minor crop tweak and you have a stunner.

Nice shots dragonfly, I like the way that the sheep are looking at you and wondering if you are edible.

yeah, know about the rule of 1/3's learnt in decades ago in art. Will go tweak some more to see if I can get it

tweaked, prob too much now if not right please feel free to edit :Razz
