A walk on Ilkley Moor

Took a walk on Ilkley Moor yesterday to take advantage of the evening sunshine.Was a feast of activity with climbers, bikers, walkers and kite flyers having the same idea. Took a few pics while I was there - hope you like them
All shown as shot apart from some cropping/borders and sharpening in PS (I don't do any sharpening in camera).

Thanks.

For the border just make copy of the shot on another layer and then increase the size of the canvas and resize the bottom layer to fit the canvas. Blur it using gausian blur then on the top layer (your good image) simply right click on the layer to use layer styles and (in this case) select drop shadow or you might just want a stroke around the image. Finally crop it to size.

No. The climber shot was on program ae but I exposed for the sky knowing the foreground would be black. Similar on the rocks but I set the aperture to f16 to get the same effect. To be honest silhouettes are one of the easiest shots to get away with as long as you expose for the brighter part of the shot the results are pretty automatic.
