thanks a lot my man. 
I plan on doing just that!Thanks very much Florian.
I loved Venice and highly recommend it for the photo opportunities and the food. Be prepared to spend a few days there and don't be surprised by the crowds. You'll find a significant number of people around St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco) and the Rialto Bridge.
Be sure to venture into the much less busy areas off the Grand Canal for shots of the small branch canals and amazing restaurants/cafes/bakeries. Of course, getting out with a tripod in the early morning and at night helps to beat some of the crowds.

Clatteringshaws Reservoir showcasing nature's contrasting warm and cool colour palette during sunrise on a winter's morning in the Galloway Hills. I love the composition of this "quiet" landscape shot. The deliberate framing of objects, shapes and colours provides a good level of compositional balance and tonal harmony in the scene.
Fuji X-T2 with XF 16-55mm f2.8 lens using LEE Filters 0.9 Neutral Density Hard Graduated Filter and Format Hitech Firecrest 0.9 Neutral Density Solid filter and Firecrest 105mm Polariser.
8s / f11 / ISO 200
As a side note - I was asked here before about producing a video type thing about a shoot and processing. Would anyone be interested in a quick video about about a shot I posted previously? I took a quick iPhone video on location to sort of test the water and whilst I'm not a professional or in any way an expert in landscape photography (or videography) I'll cobble something together if there is enough interest. Be warned, it won't be to the standards of Thomas Heaton, Ben Horne or the likes!

This would have worked better with some focus stacking, but that isn't in the timeline today.

My favourite flower in the garden for photography, but that's going to have to change in about a months time, as I'm ripping out the hedge that it comes from in our front yard. It takes up too much space, is too leggy/sparse, and seems to be coming to the end of its short (8 year) lifespan. We are going to be replacing it with a climber on a trellis of some sort that will take up a lot less width and provide denser coverage. Possibly Passionfruit's of a few varieties, even though they only have a short 7 year lifespan.

We lost a similar plant in our garden this year. I's been pretty woody for years, but did give me lots of flower shots in the past. However this summer nothingMy favourite flower in the garden for photography, but that's going to have to change in about a months time, as I'm ripping out the hedge that it comes from in our front yard.

Beautiful contrasts and reflections, Mark!
I'll put my name down as another that would be interested in your methods! I like seeing/reading/hearing about others techniques. You never know what little gems you might pick up and incorporate.

I like this, but beware of a response from @kenoh: he's made threats towards me if I ever shoot another lamp photo

Beautiful shot and please do post a video Mark...any opportunity to learn is most welcome.

And you would both be right!
Ours is Lavatera Maritima, with the deep purple on the inside and the white around the tips of the petals.

Since i's Sunday, another from the medieval church interior. Comments always appreciated. Playing with T/S arranged to have the lectern and organ recess in focus but back and right of shot out of focus. Not a dramatic but quite effective.
