Sunny afternoon on the Gower Peninsula, South Wales

[thereyougo!]

Had family down for a few days so we took them down to the Gower and to Rhosili in particular. There were a number of wild horses and sheep around and the sheep and this horse appear to be having a discussion:

I used the in viewfinder level check to assist me in a handheld panorama comprising 10 images shot in portrait orientation merged in CS5.

As we headed home, we stopped off at Oxwich Bay as the weather started to turn with a storm rolling in:

Had another look at the sheep and horse shot and adjusted a little and lowered the highlights:

I like the first b/w shot, not sure why, but I've always found seascapes to be better in b/w, unless you've got a sunset in there
