Default Local Reservoir

I took a walk round the local reservoir at the weekend. I'm still nursing the blisters from it..

Here is a few of the shots.

Fisherman in local boat

Dead Tree - got a few shots of dead trees. I keep noticing dead trees all over the place now and they keep catching my eye. I wish I'd got more DOF on the shot but I like the shapes.

The pump house.

Free lunch. Don't view this on large if you squeamish.

Think I'm going to start playing more with post processing a bit more. They still feel a bit washed / needing colour. Maybe I've been viewing too many HDR's.

Nice shots...I particularly like 2 and 3. I love tree shots..and I like the perspective of the 3rd. Nice work.

They are all nice shots. I like the tree shot. If you study it you will see there are more shots that can be cropped from the tree.

Good shots. I like the tree also. Isn't it funny what catches a photographers eyes?
