1st and third have a bit more going for them, 1st, think I would have liked the tall poppy on the thirds line, but all in all nice

they're nice shots, but look a little 'muddy' - they could do with a bit of punch. might be as simple as just adjusting levels to darken the shadows, or an increase in contrast

is the first one tilting? Laughing

I like the first and third too, and agree with both Dave and Jon. We don't get poppies like that over here, and these shots provided a nice touch of UK for me!

Thanks Degsy!
