Not too sure about the weathervane on the second one. Should I crop it out, clone it out? or just leave it there?

Love cloudy skies! Number three is super.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Lovely set richard, nice sky.... wonderful light...

Wooow one of my favourite light ... dark sky with sunlight lighting up parts.

Wonderful Richard. I really like the first and third, especially the first - it has a wonderful balance to it and the light is fabulous.

The weather vane in the second is a bit distracting isn't it. Having said that, I don't think I would clone it out. Maybe just tone down the yellow on the 'poles'. Te level of the dome seems a tiny bit out too but I think that is just perspective isn't it?

Thank you for your comments. I found a shot I had overlooked & taken from a slightly different angle to the second. Eliminates the weather vane issue.

Richard the exposures with this light looks beautiful. Deep, clear, dark,bright rich tones with such clarity. Did you use a PL filter?

Richard,

Nice shots and worth the climb up the tower. Oxford has great architecture and some really good green spaces.
