Hi Mike,Busy week, so just a couple of contrasting pictures to share from a visit toLindisfarne last year

Both are lovely, but the first one is the winner for me. Beautiful details and colors put together in a very interesting setting. You have managed to capture the dynamic range well, the tonality is very good. Thanks for showing
Cheers,

Hi Mike,
These are two strikingly different images, both very well done!
I am particularly taken by the second image.
I like both the simplicity and the starkness.
THAT's an image I'd vote for inclusion into an OPF print portfolio!

A peep at an entire room!
Mike, you are amazing. These unusual images have been inexplicably been present in your collection and you only just released them! I'm very pleased to see them but I'm flummoxed as to how they could go together! So I'm dealing with one at a time.

This one is rather startling in its incompleteness. I rant about just seeing an orphaned end of a lone cloud or piece of a branch at one side of a large picture. Why is this done? It is not pleasant to have to mentally complete these things in one's mind as they are on the periphery and should be less important.
Here, the entire picture is a fragment of a really interesting scene. What's remarkable to me is that once I got adjusted to the lack of correction of the sloping snap shot, I realized that I was perfectly capable to imagine a lot about this picture without any annoyance. In fact, I'm delighted to be trusted to assemble the entire kitchen from what you have given. This is a very impressive success using just a slice of the facts of the situation. Likely, we'd not know much more by seeing more of hte place, in fact we'd have a less rich experience as so many things would become excluded if the picture just showed everything.
Good job! I learned a little more. For the uninitiated, some information on Lindisfarne

Both shots are excellent Mike. I really find the tire tracks in #2 to be thought provoking. Why tire tracks and not foot steps? What was a vehicle doing in this setting?
It appears that the grass ends in front of the seats, what would one see while sitting there?
Good shots cause a story to be told, you have accomplished that - thumbs up!!!

Thank you for your kind comments. The two pictures are only connected by being taken during the same walk on the island.
The kitchen picture I considered correcting the slope and the little bit of perspective distortion, but didn't really like it. hence it is as shot, albeit with some careful work in raw conversion around the plates. Asher, your comment about it being a fragment is interesting as I am thinking of starting a little project titled either 'Fragments' or possibly 'Documentary Fragments' (though that feels like a bit of a mouthful). More on that later.
The second picture was one of those opportunities that grabbed me. Beyond the benches is a rocky beach and the sea, and then across to other land beyond. The vehicle tracks left me wondering too.
I have a few others from the day that I should revisit at some point soon also.
