Love the shots Matt. The last one is a real cracker - would have been good as a "Guess What" or "Guess Where" comp. Macka would have won, by the sounds of it!

Matt, for some reason I really like the second one.... but can't figure out why? Beautiful clear shots, with great clarity of colour :)
Man, that sounded good ;)

And I'll jump in before GregB gets on the case. This sort of cannon has three 'n's. The two 'n' Canon, well we all know what that is.....

Both explode but only one is supposed to.

:wink:

Matt

The first two images are superb examples of you at your artistic best. The first one in particular shows a fine eye for composition and your keen eye for extracting every nuanced detail from a scene (that means I REALLY like it :wink: ). There is so much lovely detail there to explore yet the placement of the Cannon anchors both the scene and the eye.

For me, and after these first two, the remaining images, while very good, lack impact by comparison.
