I agree, nice.

The 2nd shot is a cracker, just love the way the tree stands out, p+h.

nice, 2 is my favorite

I also like #2, but would prefer next time you bring a saw with you.

First two are great pics, with #2 being my favorite of the two!

Last one doesn't really make sense to me; subject is lost [or I'm blind]

Thanks again everyone.

For those who like the second shot, it is a view I like to shoot when ever I am in the area. It can look very different depending on the weather and the season. Here is a photo of the same location a couple weeks ago, shot with the same lens (although a little further back)

A very dramatic difference.

please forgive me: what does "Preset" mean, in your OP?

They are (usually) old lenses that have two aperture rings, usually at the front of the lens. The first ring you set the aperture you want, and the second ring opens the aperture fully or stops it down to the setting of the first aperture, to make it easier to manually focus.

Here is an example of 3 of my preset lenses. From left to right, Tele Takumar 200mm F5.6 Preset, Takumar 200mm F3.5 Preset and Tele-Takumar 300mm f6.3 Preset
