I have just noticed that I didn't comment / respond to Grey World I which is odd as I like the structures and textures of the leaves a lot. Sorry. I have been back to this set (Another Grey Wold II) a few times now as there are some things I like about them and others that I don't think work so well but wasn't sure which. As with the first series I really like the textures but, while the leaves are all about that texture, these have a pictorial element as well. And for me that element doesn't work because of all the tonally similar texture. However, if you zoom (crop) in, excluding the sky for example, I think the they start to work much better as they become much more about the texture. Does that make any sense or am I talking rubbish (again)?

looks grey. well done on the greyness.

really like the last one, it has that glow in the highlights again. the leaves and branches at the top spread out in to a nice frame for the trunk.

Second and third for me in preference. Nice Grey. In fact lots of different grays.

Pete - complete rubbish As usual

Thanks Beth and Julian. I think there are some good qualities here and there, but I've shot better...and worse.

Superb set of images Rob, I love the 'shadows' pic especially, great contrast and tone, well executed alright, a lovely gritty effect to them, wow.


Very sell'able and inspirational.
