Mere Hill Spinney

A lazy day today after getting home at 1am from Wembley last night.

We popped off to the cinema to see Star Trek this afternoon, with a quick diversion via Mere Hill Spinney on the way home.

This one is lovely viewed large

[Jon Butcher]

awesome composition, love it!

[Chris]

Demonstrates excellent processing skills and a nice composition.

[Jocasta]

Beautiful - but think I like the colour version this time - wondrous yellow of rapeseed field

[Dave Morrow]

Super contrast.

[Ivan]

Dramatic mono!

[joey d.Muli]

Love this version too---stunning as always :)

[Janelle]

Great shot Sean. I assume those fields are full of yellow flowers? Looks wonderful in B&W for the drama of the sky

[Danny G.]

Love that dramatic sky - beautifully composed, Sean.

[Quin]

wonderful sky!

[Corinne]

Could be Uluru in Australia ;)

[Taffy]

The sky is fantastic in this image!

[David]

I like the way the sky takes up the greater part of the picture,Sean, yet the silhouette of the spinney is the anchor. Is there any detail in that spinney that you can tease out? Just interested in what it might look like and how it would affect the balance, but it is another fine b&w landscape as it is.

@yrhenwr Thanks David, yes there is some detail I have in a shot palnned for a few days time probably. I am a huge fan of Peter heard the painter, and am lucky enough to own his painting called Copses. http://www.peterheard.com/peter/graphic_landscape.html#4
I try to mimic him in some of my shots.
