Thanks for the constructive feedback Oblomow and Alexander, always great to get such valued comments.. I was pretty limited with positioning I'm afraid: sat the camera on top of one of the stumps. Taking the tripod on vacation would be ideal but a lot of hassle (too mean to invest in a very lightweight job) but there were a number of times it would have been invaluable. I'll have a play with PP to look what to do with the colours in the sky. Thanks again guys.
Got a tip for us?

Always nice to get a bit of (well deserved) recognition. Well done.I'm gonna be cheeky and post what may be a repeat image of recent times. Sorry if that is the case.
I just found out a few hours ago that this image (below) and another of mine have been chosen to be published in CameraPixo's latest fine art magazine offering, "Fine Art 03 - B&W Urban Nature."
This image below was the recipient of an Editors Choice award. Considering that the majority of images published are from international award winning artists, it's a nice nod of the head to receive and for me to see that I'm on the right track with my architectural imagery.
Thank you! I think my friend uses the Nescafe Dolce Gusto and those tiny pods to make these and I believe you mix two in this case. Nice tasting coffee from a home-made coffee machine although a bit expensive for the pods
.It took me a while to realise it wasn't taken in Venice... Lovely tones and details, Melissa!
Early morning sweat, very humid here. Even on the trees.
I'm really enjoying the way the bokeh of the background has a strong sense of movement to it and that you nailed the focus in the water-droplets.
Stormy skies over Allonby...
The white cloud front looks like there is a giant wave about to wipe out these row-houses! Perfectly timed.
Thanks Ken and seadragon...much appreciated.

Congratulations Alex! I had a look through the publication and it certainly appears that you're in good company. Well Done.

@oblomow @Apple fanboy @Cheese&Apple @someoldguy Thank you gentlemen. The next step is to get the luminosity masking techniques mastered to take the imagery that further step again in regard of finessing.
Lovely POV and colours to this sunset image. It's a POV I haven't seen before, making it unique (to me at least), which is hard to achieve in these sort of images.
You have great imagery on your site, really nice colours, subjects and POV's. It would be a delight to see them shared here too!

I just checked out your site, excellent work as well. Cool Macros and BW!
Thanks a lot, @Miltz . I'm slowly getting there and absolutely loving the journey that photography takes you on. Including all of the challenges, twists and turns and all...
Another shot of Conwy Castle... I'm interested in what folks think of this... I was almost tempted to discard this image along with a batch of similar shots, because the sun was not at a great angle but then the boat in the foreground was begging for this shot to be a keeper. (and unfortunately the tight crop is required due to very unsightly crap outside the frame)... Thoughts?

I know what you mean about crapy stuff next to your subject.Another shot of Conwy Castle... I'm interested in what folks think of this...

When the sky is as uneventful as this, sometimes a B&W looks better.
Also as an alternative crop (which is just how your image looks on my iPhone as I type this), how about lose the castle by finishing your shot at the shore line. So the boat becomes the focus and the castle is just a reflection?
Good suggestions... I'll give them a try tomorrow. In fact the crop you mention is easily duplicated here by scrolling... And it does look interesting. Cool!

Wonderful sense of mystery in this shot. Perfect!
Thats a good shout a used M is a good call. Saying that they are way too expensive to rent. For a weekend they are almost the price of the FE 28mm lens!
I am going to go into the Leica shop on Old Street on my next trip south to talk to them about trying one for an hour or so, take a lens with me and take one for a spin I think. I need to get this out of my system.
I am thinking the return to basics approach is why it appeals to me but it would sure be nice to have image stabilisation in there.
Anyhoo... Here is one for today.

These are the patio heaters in the restaurant at the hotel. Thought they were nice.
I like this photo. You seem to be doing fine with the camera you have!
I've never heard of it either! No idea what it means and I don't think I want to!

Well done Alex, it deserves to be there.

Thanks Ish for the kind words.
The phrase is one used in Glasgow a lot meaning when you get a fright.

Really like the shot, maybe could you lift the shadows a touch though to give the main structure a bit more detial?

If you've shot this as a RAW image, you might be able to lift the shadows and blacks to reduce the reflection quite a bit actually. I really like the boat in the foreground, that's a good point.
