Thanks! It was quite mesmerising watching this. I wanted to get a shot of the lines of cut grass disappearing into the distance, but I couldn't get the right spot to take the shot from and the lines were too far apart to be an effective shot, so settled for this.A nice couple of images Simon
#2 for me, I can smell the hay from here
Thanks - I tend to rush at things like the proverbial bull in a china shop, so need to take more care. The vase was balanced on a box to get the height to have a clear background (!) I wanted the whole vase originally and that would have been difficult cropping out the box, so I just left most of it in. You advice to crop more out would have been radical, but probably better in the endActivity - the beach one for me works well
Artificial - your lighting is good and spot on topic - possibly crop out more of the vase?
Thanks for the feedbackI do like the inclusion of the vase, as it's not run of the mill. I would have liked a bit more headroom above the blooms though.
I think I will go with #3 as my fav, as it truly fills the frame.
Thanks for the feedback PeteHi Simon
Artificial, I prefer the first one, how ever my eyes see it leaning over a bit, it needs to be straightened up in your PP software of choice.
Autumn, nice set of Red Berries.
Activity, I prefer the 1st of the 2 shots, just for the nice colours in the trees and I feel there is a bit of a story going on.
Wet, First one looks wetter and wilder, second one looks a bit static to me, 3rd one does not work for me and the fourth one is ok, maybe in you got in much closer would provide more interest.

Catching up again...
Your artificially lit daffs - good effort on the improvisation. I'm going against the grain, but really like the tight crop on #3. The background doesn't bother me at all - and the forcing the attention on to the flower heads really highlights the detail in the daffodils.
#3 again for autumn - the umbrellas and the poses really shout UK in the autumn to me. The natural leading lines being the eyes to the people nicely as well.
And the bonnet for wet - the colour has come out beautifully.
Thank you for the comments . The greenhouse one was completely unintentional - just whipped the camera out to snap my daughter, the heat/humidity misted everything up (including my glasses) immediately. It's not my finest piece of work (!) but I thought it fitted the topic (slightly)!I really like the first one for wet, though I rather like the one in the greenhouse too.
Autumn: All good - my choice would be the second. The figures add somrthing to the landscape.
Thanks for the comments PhilNice red berries, but Autumn #2 would be my choice with the figures adding a bit of interest to the autumn leaves.
I like the rain making patterns in the pond and paving but this might have been enhanced with a figure under an umbrella looking on.
