Like the second of the 2 waterfall shots, but think it might have been more impressive if you'd come out a bit further still on the zoom

That ford is crazy, I was there a few weeks ago and even with low water levels cars were flying through it steaming away on the other side

Did you get anything of the statues or the Abbey/down by the Orangery or were you up the top end?

It's worth going first thing, or first thing after 10am once the twitchers have settled in

There's a very nice shot to be had if you park up at the Abbey car park: http://www.flickr.com/photos/53246859@N00/22132999... (not mine - too many people when I went)

Thoughts on your pics (bear in mind you and others may disagree), I think the first lake shot on p1 got a better sky, so you could probably do more with that in processing as the second (the one you posted) is a bit too bright/blown out.

More zoom on the ford pics of the silver car which I see you got later with the Landie, try shutter priority for panning and stand on the bridge for cars coming left to right rather than right to left as you'd get a bit of the lake and better background. With the light being quite low, that would make an interesting long exposure with the water and headlights
