Here we go!

The first day I've been able to go outside since getting the new toy. This is nerve-wracking.

This has just taken me two hours to do. How thick am I?

Liking the composition and colours on that first one!

The background in the first is a bit distracting, and both could do with a tighter crop I think :)

Thanks for the comment. I composed it by putting the dandelion on a topped Lalandi. The background didn't blur up enough though.
I tried it between gardening and decorating. I will make time to learn!
Still getting used to all this!!

Tried extra cropping a different shot as advised;

Another vote for pic number 1. It's got a real 'Pan's Labyrinth' fantasy feel to it, and the subject is sufficiently contrasty to stand out from the other elements of the picture.
