Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies.
The photos were taken quickly when out walking the dogs around the quarry so managing to get them to stay still long enough made decent composition hard, but they are getting better so I will post some improved shots in time.
The last pic, yes the cones were supposed to be the subject, although i was just experimenting with depth of field, so i do agree they aren't the most interesting subject in the world but I did quite like how the photo turned out
