1, 3, and 6 for me.
I prefer 1 after the crop that we discussed on MSN. I think this may also work well with a BW conversion.
No 6 I do quite like....but think there could be something more.

But....good use of bad weather!!! :D

Love number one mate! Good composition, and nice reflection. It's the bird at the bottom that makes it for me. Good spot :)

The first for me, a bird on every post! Are you sure you didn't lay any food down to attract them ;)

Nice set, from a wet week.

I like Number 3 - Is it Aira Force? If so shame there was no rainbow

Nice set, both sets are good, favs are 3 in the first set and 1,3 and 4 in the 2nd set.

I think the 1st in the 2nd set could do with a little more punch - I'm no expert here - perhaps some saturation or increase in contrast. But I love the composition of that one and love the colours in the last two!

Also the final tree in the first set is a real eye catcher! Nice one!

Thanks for the comments Darkstar might have another look at the first one:)

Two good sets, i agree one or two would benefit from some saturation and contrast boost

Nice set there, for pic No.6 i might have boosted the colours a bit more.

I hope you don't mind:

It was quite simple really (i'm a photoshop newbie anyway)

It was done by individually increasing the saturation of Green, then Blues. Not sure if this is the "right" thing to do but i guess i'll soon be put right in not.

have a look here:
