Wow Darren! These are great. The second one is especially moving; the lighting and the perspective on it is awesome. The two bridge ones are well-exposed as well. I think the flaring from the light might be a bit distracting, yet I find that it adds nice diagonals to the first image in particular. These are all around great.

Guys
thanks for the comments, Very kind.
i notice the comments on the light flares, With this work i am trying to leave as much information in the shot as was captured. My ethos (for want of a better word) is to find a good point of view that i am happy with, If i see lens flare then it stays in the finished shot.

To much digital photography now i feel is ultra clean, i want to get my work back to a more real state and i feel that it adds to the overall shot.

thanks and if interested I can post a few more
:D

I completely hear you on the want to have more natural-looking images. There is such a thing as having too much tweaking. From HDR (something I've been guilty of), to the dragan filters, which, while producing a truly interesting feel and look, really do take the challenge out of producing a proper photograph and replace it with a bunch of photoshop workflows. In many ways, I'm glad that you have a strong opinion about this, and that there are some people, like you, that are still capable of appreciating and seeking perfection from the lens, rather than from the healing brush. Like I said- the flares actually accentuate the pictures, and in this case, an ultra-clean image would produce an empty and uninteresting sky. Keep up the good work, and I'm sure that all of us here at MR would be glad to see more of your work in the future.

Thanks for that,
i think from a photography stand point in 2007 i am starting to build a tiny bit of reputation on my black and white stuff.

my goal is to become a full time photography in 2008/2009 so i am sure you will see plenty more shots in the future

Those look very nice! I must agree with the people regarding the second one, it's amazing!
Can't wait to pick up a dslr for myself.
