I think it's the foreground grass and the fabulous sky that make this shot. Its all about the contrasting textures.

Sorry, you've lost me. These are just WA shots and nowhere near the widest I shoot which is 10mm. The second is a pano so certainly, it will look wider.

I was musing that I have the greatest difficult with this FoV myself, which corresponds with mobile phone lenses, roughly 28mm FF. The really wide and longer views tend to be easier to find.

But these are superbly framed so the views must exist, somewhere...
 
I like #1. The way it's framed with the camera not level but the left edge of the building parallel to the frame border adds tension without the source of it being obvious, requiring the viewer to spend more time.
 
Someone is having brilliant sunlight!

Looking out of the office window I also have this, but cannot go out and shoot now...

Like the first very much.

Thanks Woodsider. As I said originally, this needed 'a bit of work' to arrive at the image I posted. The sky was all but burnt out and the grass severely lacking in contrast. Folk might be interested in seeing the original image straight out of the camera, except for RAW conversion.

Interesting to see the RAW file, quite a difference.

Here's a shot of Blackpool North pier I took this week. I'm still very much a noob at both taking the shot and processing the shot, so any feedback most welcome. I waited for the tide to go our to try and get some reflections and too have a play with my new polarising filter.

Hoya polariser
 
I like these Chris. Can't be certain, but I think I took some images from inside that stairwell. The light you have on the building in these is quite nice. Can't say I am much of a fan of what FG did to this building though. Parts are nice from the inside.

For myself, I would square up the last in post to make the area around the stairwell rectangular using perspective correction.

I agree that these FL can be a bit awkward. But ignore the number and shoot as if you are using your 7mm lens and it's fine.
 
Thanks Chris. They are called groynes. They stop the shingle washing up and down the shore of the river as the tide ebbs and flows.
 
Go back and try again but this time do an exposure bracket. I've had a weekend or two of dealing with the bright grey sky in Suffolk and trying to squeeze something interesting out of the dull weather. With an UWA lens the skies can be fantastic but you need to kill all the highlights and drop the exposure to see the cloud shapes. Using a bracket makes it much easier and helps you manage the noise.
 
Pretty good comp for a noob :-) You posted quite a small size jpg so it's hard to see much else about the detail.

Next time you might want to post in repsonse to the original message in the thread; you're more likely to get noticed that way.
 
I like the colours but for the shot I'd want to stand much closer, maybe right under that staircase projection, and shoot up.
 
Spring? Where?

That's an amazing buildin in the first. What is it?

Ahh right sorry. I'm a noob at posting on the forum too! Here is, what I hope is, a hi res Jpeg. I did some sharpening in photoshop, as the edges of the frame were a little soft due to a combination of the kit lens and me using f/11. I was paranoid about depth of field.
