No C&C ?!

I like the second one the best of the series Garreth. Sorry about the lack of C&C but I don't know enough about photography yet. You might want to try posting one or two over on the critique site and see what pops up. Helpful folks over there.

I'm a bit surprised you haven't had more comment. I like the soft, subtle look of all of these shots but I especially dig number 5; the tonal range of your conversion is outstanding . . . . as is the composition.

Thanks both

I find #5 much more interesting as well.

Thanks Eyespy, No.5 looking popular!
