    Here's another verision of the hairpin bend with just one small car, would be easy to remove it, but the version with the big bus looked somehow more interesting to me. Looked all a bit empty without it. I was thinking if I display it locally people here would think "Oh, I travel with that bus" :-)
    An old timer car with a driver wearing old fashioned goggles and leather hat would have been great , but none came by ;-)

    All quite wet indded!
    That last one looks almost like you're inside looking through a window covered in raindrops.

    Busses are in this week :-)
    This one looks almost like it is being stretched in both directions.

    Sometimes we go out expecting, or hoping, to get a particular shot, but it doesn't always happen like that.
    But often enough, something else will pop up instead. So it's worth going out. Which reminds me I should be out now and not in front of a keyboard ;-)

    Beautiful corner of the country, with a beautiful composition. 😍
    You make me want to use my little fish-eye.

    Another set with material for your book ;-)
    I think my favourite are these.

    Destruction of towns and cities by invading armies is sadly not only a thing of the past. We see such bad news every day on the news, will it ever stop ?

    Nice shot but I feel like the bright light in the lower right corner attracts too much attention from the main beauty in the upper left.

    I like it very much.
    Your daughter looking at the horizon turns a landscape photo into a cinematic scene. A 2:1 frame would reinforce that.

    I guess everyone will have their own preference but I prefer the red car to the bus. Although I'll admit I prefer the position of the bus in the frame.

    While attempting to view these in the annoyingly unpredictable forum slide show, I saw a hairpin shot that had a red car instead of a bus. I haven't been able to find the post where you included it. Anyway, I liked it better because it didn't block the view down the road on the right side of the hairpin.

    This is the best of the four. I find focus/motion blur issues with the others.

    You remind me that I need to experiment with intentional motion photos myself. Interesting shot.

    This is my favorite from the set but I would have spent some time removing the power lines, if it were mine.

    The small car is not the distraction that the bus is in your other version. I would get rid of the pole just to the right of the car, though.

    Totally agree. Ideal spot to take a capture.
