Very nice set. There are a couple of challenge worthy shots there in my opinion.

Really nice.. You gave us a nice variety of shots. I really like the rust one.. The detail you captured is very impressive..

I like the focus here. Great detail in the red wire. A part of me would like to see the red a little more to the right, but then I do like the far left composition. It makes you look at the entire picture.

I guess this is what reindeer do the other 364 days of the year. I never would have guessed they would be grazing there. Are they wild, or owned by a local farmer? I like the composition here. Good use of foreground field & the lines created by the reindeer.

I like the B&W here. This image has great potential to be amazing. I think it would look great with a fog layer. Something to help add mystery, or a spooky feel.

Good eye here. This is a shot that most people would miss, me specifically. Another good possibility for the challenge.

I love this shot. You know I love almost anything rust. Great lines by the wood grain.

I always pictured the waterfall to be bigger. Was this it, or just a portion of the falls? Another good use of B&W, but I'm also interested to see the color version too.

Great series from yesterday. It looks like you had a successful group outing.

Thanks Greaper, the red wire made it to the contest :)

You know, I tried that composition, but it did have the punch I wanted. I like the simple composition, the lines read to the red wire. I really really enjoyed composing this shot.

I think they are owned by the local farmer. Yeah, you are just lucky to land these shots.

Great tip, let me try. [I don't have a clue what a fog layer is!]

:). I search for these shots, I switched to my macro after a while (very bad light) and the only thing I searched was these type of shots.

Haha, I am beginning to like it, thanks to you :)

Not quite. I am so pathetically out of shape that it is not even funny. I huffed and puffed my way up. I did not want to lug the 300mm with me, but I did, thankfully.
