Here are some shots from my early morning walk yesterday









Thanks for looking

Love the first and third shots. I like the reflection in the third photo

Hi Sheldon - these look great - have you though of doing some pp work and making these more vivid. Great scenes to capture. I like 1,3 & 4 Cheers, Bernz

I have had the pleasure of viewing these already on flickr. I enjoyed viewing them there and continue to enjoy them here.
All have that wonderful calm, first thing in the morning feel about them, excellent job Sheldon

very serene, looks quiet, nice shots, beautiful place you live

So, Sheldon, this your world? You walk along a pier and your feet travel on cobblestones when you go on a morning walk? You have colorful flowers spilling over the sides of of hanging baskets--just as a regular, everyday occurence? I suppose boats reflecting in shallow water is de rigeur. You must being eating the breakfast of champions! Lovely, lovely!

Lovely set and I like them all. #4 is my favorite. I love the color of the hanging baskets and the line on the side of the road leads my eye all the way through the entire picture and makes me wonder what is around the bend.

The first and last photos are my favorites. It would be nice to see the street shot at a different time of day though, with less shadows. I agree with Bernzfotos, increasing the saturation in both would really put these images over the top!

I pretty much agree with you

I'm not that adept at PP work yet & I'm never sure whether to enhanve colours that weren't particularly vivid in the 1st place

Thank you - I certainly got up early for this set although I see many of these things on my train commute in the morning and have been dyeing for the opportunity to capture them - unfortunately it was probably the worst light of the week!

it's actually near where I live but the rest of the area is quite modern but this has a real old world charm to it although only when it's either very early in the morning or on a cold winter day

Thank you - it looks far more idyllic than it really is at 11pm on a Friday & Saturday night!

Thanks Mike - you'd be disappointed - a very modern bridge & car park I'm afraid

Thanks for your comments - next time I have a chance I'll take some more shots at a different hour & play around with some colours too

Thank you all for looking and for your comments

Wonderful shots sheldon. I agree with the others that the first ones could do with just a touch of PP to give a bit of contrast. The last one I just love right down to the little red telephone box.
