Another shot of my wander around Constable Country.
Pollarded Willows line the Stour River in all sorts of contorted shapes.

What wonderful shapes, Martin. I can see why you were drawn to them. I especially like the third image as it gives such a feel to the place.

Good forms with lots of interest Martin. The last image has anthropomorphism qualities. Not only superb images to photograph but also enjoyable to sit and sketch on a sunny day.

Agree with all the above, but might have to fire off an email to the Horizon Police (a Constable, no less!) for the last one 
What do you mean, "It was a downward slope"?! Only kidding!
I love these shapes. It's the sort of place I'd love to walk around. Great stuff, Martin. I'm delighted with your contributions to this forum in such a short time. Much appreciated.

Fair Kop Rob must have been the scanner lol.
Theres plenty on dust spots on most of my shots Pete If you look close enough I will in future remove in Lightroom but I have not been doing anything to them before uploading.

I take a gentle approach with first-time offenders, Brian. It's the career dust perpetrators I concentrate on! You know who I'm taking about!

Nope but still get quite a bit of dust and stuff when scanning even after blowing with air and wiping down the scanner at every set

I'm sure it is, but rather than using wet film to pick up fluff, maybe you could give a vacuum cleaner a go!

Well since the photographer claims he is blind as a bat, I can think of others here too I must say you have reached a peak that no bat could. And the last one to me is the one I prefer, being so visible without being drawn into the bushes. That scares me a bit.
