Thanks everyone.
My other half has just got himself a new 40d so i was let loose with his old 300d, first time using a DSLR properly! BIg change from my humble lil point and shoot.
tacko...now that I look at the second one it does look a little over processed.
The third one was a big mistake in camera but I kinda like how it turned out - each to their own I guess!
