Llandudno eh? North Wales is like the back garden of Liverpool I always thought. Rhyl, Towyn etc.
Although a bit bright the detail in the one of the Orm is really impressive wobble. Which lens?
The BW ones are equally sharp and impressive. Not sure about the selective colouring as the colour doesn't seem that important to the shot. It's a nice image and IMHO would work better as BW alone.
As an aside, it doesn't seem that long ago you got that D50. Got to be the best money ever spent eh?
