Matt - one word for these my friend - 'lovely'
As I said yesterday, you have a wonderful eye for composition.
Show us more!! :D
#4 is my favourite!

Matt these are even better then your other set.

I absolutely love #2, and would be blowing it up and hanging it had I taken it, (I'd consider buying a print myself).

#1 Has great atmosphere, makes me feel like I'm in a mineshaft, or a absolutely huge cellar, you are left wondering how bit the space really is, and what could be hiding in the darkness.

#3 It doesn't amaze me like #2 but it's still composed very well, I'd suggest a B&W conversion

#4 A really interesting shot, it seems very grey to me, but again maybe just because it's overcast ?

#5 I like it but the light is distracting, I'd suggest a tighter crop keeping to the left hand side to avoid the light.

The photographs of the wine bottles are dazzling! I like the symmetry and order

Thanks for your comments. I think a lot of the forum members appreciate the time you take to post them. In reference to #5...you think the light is distracting....I think it's atmospheric. That's the fun of it all. :D :D

Hi Matt!

Great images! But I must admit that I've got images 99% identical to the first 3 of them and a couple of very similar to 5th :)

Certianly is the fun of it, if we all saw stuff the same, we'd get bored very easily! BTW I just have to say I keep coming back to this shot, IMHO this weeks POTW is ......

Matt, did you only take photos of Stubbsy's cellar and one of his garden? Didn't you go out over the weekend?

Glen - If that was my cellar I'd be a happy man (and I don't have a garden - just grass & trees)

Craig - I'd like to take a bet with you on that one. I'm POTW chooserer this week and have now made my choice and...

It's NOT that one :D

Like Mikhail I have near identical shots to #2 and #3. I've now decided not even to wast PP time on mine since these are so much better than what I have. And like Craig, the bottle shot is my fave.
