Approaching storms seem a good subject to photograph except when you’re km from no where and the potential to turn the path less trod into a quagmire.

This is good. I think you have a knack in B&W shots.

My Lil Bro takes me for walks when I visit him.
”I know a short cut,” he says.
Very funny. NOT!
buggered if I know where we end up. Often crossing some paddock or pebble hopping a flooded creek. We even finished up under the M60 heading for Manchester .And we’d started in York.

We do see some interesting country. Being the UK there’s always rain about.

Well done.

Why so serious?

I prefer the 2nd post, given a strong foreground/middle/background. It creates a more clear sense of place to me. The first has too much undefined black in the clouds (is there any detail that can be recovered?) and the vegetation is a nice texture, but you've missed the opportunity to D&B to create some drama.

In the first case, the wheat field isn't really the subject, is it?

I do like them both. I just the the latter is more successful. Thank you for sharing.

Whats a D&B when it’s at home, Gary?
You’ll need to forgive me on that. There’s probably a language barrier. We don’t do much abbreviating where I live. I don’t even text or use emojis. Yep, I’m that f***ing old.

I rather doubt you're much older than me, although I'm not quite a pensioner.

You're British, if I'm not mistaken? Don't you mean "bloody old"? :-D

Apologies for the shorthand. D&B == "dodge and burn".

And that should have read, "I just think that the latter..."  Me and my fingers. *sigh*

Yep, it works for me.  Nice job here, the B&W works along with the choice in frame.
