    Lake District, Rain again!!

    Hi All,

    We go to the Lakes every year sometimes 2 or 3 times, I can't remember the last time we went and had any decent weather. this time was no exception, it hissed it down for 3 days and as we left, out came the Sun!!

    Could only force myself out of the Car twice to use the camera, both shots are taken in the rain and poor light

    Grange Bridge in Borrowdale, the image was so bereft of colour I thought mono suited it best

    I think considering the weather you got 2 really nice shots...

    I'm wondering if the 1st image would take the crop going in much closer house but keeping the walkway in. keeping all the trees and putting the house in the lower quarter, it may work

      I think the mono image works the best but would lose the sky as its so bland

        Two attractive images....shame about the weather
        His the mono shot have you considered a neutral grad from the top to add drama to the sky and background fells....or if you have increase a bit?

          I really like the mono and there seems to be some life left in the sky. A little more processing of the sky only could add a little more drama to the shot.
