The weatherman couldn't have got it more wrong today. He forecast rain all morning brighter in the afternoon after 12pm.

Ended up being a bright morning and terrential rain started at 12pm

Glad I made the effort to go early.

Quality.

The deer have been captured very well.
The first one stands out. I'd maybe have cropped out a bit of the water but I do like the symmetry you've got with the composition.

Whereabouts in Cheshire is this? I could look it up but I figure asking is more social.

Its in Disley, near Stockport.

Its on the A6 leaving Stockport heading towards Buxton

4 and 5 are great shots.

Good set of shots. #1 is really good I like the angle and the B&W but can't help feel that there's too much empty foreground.
#3 I like a lot.
#5

#6 Great old building. I like the jaunty angle. What is the building do you know?

The Building in number 6 is called 'The Cage'. Its a hunting lodge. I believe back in the old days the women used to watch the men hunting from there

I agree, thanks for your suggestion

*Kurt_Wylde* · 27-10-2008, 9:52 AM

I like them a lot.. I'd be tempted to go for a tighter crop on #3 though, focusing on the Stag looking straight ahead. (just my two penneth)

Seriously: cool pix.

Ballgirl · 27-10-2008, 8:30 PM

Played with this one in Photoshop

Hello there.

Nice set of shots.

That crop of #1 really works well.

#4 a very good shot

, with lovely blue sky behind the deer. Did you use a CP filter on these.

Cheers Holo

Thanks for your kind comments.

No I didn't have a CPL on at all, it stayed in my bag for this lens.
