Full.. sunflower hearts.. they leave everything else so I've given up with any alternatives. Looks good in mono.
Patterns... that's a lovely shot, nicely composed and exposed. Lots of natures own patterns there.

Thanks Helen, I was pleased with that one.
 
Catching up:
Full: really well composed and shot Keith, love it.
Patterns: I found a snail shell as well but I think that you've taken a better image than me

Patterns - I was a bit lucky to stumble on that one, I was trying to capture a Wren and stopped for a breather.
 
I had the same idea but I never got time to get there. There used to be a metal grill over the enterance and a lot more trees than that? Do you go often?
Think there was a mini and it's engine laying about too?
Might have been a Metro not a mini ..

First time I've been over there buddy, drove by many times and had no idea it was there, then I Googled "Bedfordshire Tunnels"
There's a few remnants of a vehicle in front of the tunnel, couple of rusty wheels.
There was a gap in the barrier and smoke coming from the tunnel, pretty sure someone was in there so I didn't hang around.
Is it a good walk in the Spring/Summer? (Plenty of low Kites on the fields over there)

If people are in the tunnel don't hang around, I've been down there when people were in there and armed police arrived :oops: :$

It is a nice place spring and summer, blossom on the trees, small birds, kites, rare breed sheep were kept in there for a while, the front of the tunnel is great on a hot day, nice cold breeze flows straight down the old track line.

You can walk to it from Old Warden church, if you want a day out in the sticks.

That sounds a nice walk, but a local once told me they get a few cars broken into at the Church car park, it's a very pretty area but sounds like it has its issues !

Don't say that! I left my car there week before last... I'll park in shuttleworth next time :LOL:

Few years back around the time of the armed police, my car parked at the farm track enterance by the nature reserve had a huge hand print in the middle of the windscreen but no other marks, scared the hell out of Em.
 
Sounds like a tunnel to avoid.
Good B/W image and well on theme.
 
I love this sort of shot where urban seems to meet country. Perfect for mono too.
 
That Tunnel looks a bit rough, armed police ! need more be said.

Looks good in B&W

The valley of the old rail line stretches about 100yrds in the other direction, quite a dramatic setting. I agree, works well in mono.

Yes it was too lonely down there considering everything, I didn't hang about.
 
Love the tunnel shot, the natural bowl of the countryside draws you in to the picture centring on the tunnel, very well composed.
 
It's spring... but the sad side, poor Thrush.

Nice use of DoF and good colour (y)
 
I'll ignore all the puns that spring (unintended) to mind and say it's a really nice shot and a great idea for the theme.
 
Great idea for the theme, well spotted, colours are nice and the egg is in very sharp focus. I like this image a lot. :)
 
The colour contrast and composition with the dead leaf really works. My glass is half full so I'm assuming it hatched and flew :)
 
Lovely colour and great contrast with the background giving it pop
 
Good eye Keith, really well captured.
 
Sure there's a story there somewhere but not sure what it is!!

Nice image and it made me smile.
