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!
