Lake District

[John Ellis]

Two more

John, the copmosition on the first one is very good, the hikers lead you into the image, take out the glare in the centre and top and you would have a better image, clouds slightly burnt out.try exposure compensation and exposure lock on a mid colour. 2nd image is good as in its layout. but after that sorry the foreground colour to vivid .

I agree with mbackh about the lens flare - but I think the foreground colour in #2 is fine - typial lakes for me.

I like the composition of the first image very much. Its a shame about the flare:)

[Buggbairn]

Nice shots John :)

Ignoring the flare I love your composition

[blighty]

I don't think the flare is so bad, I think people give flare a hard time, it doesnt always detract from the picture and can add realism.

[Dimitri_V]

That first one is a bit overexpossed (sky) but i like it.

Nice shots john,I don't have a problem with the lens flare.28-135?:D

[Hellashot]

Looks like you need some shadow lightening on #2 - there's very dark tree areas that seem blobish.

they both look pretty nice to me. I agree, flare can add to a picture iif it's in just the right place.
