In terms of captures, Ben, you're going ahead for sure
but I would suggest you to spend more on renditions.

Agreed. They are far too saturated.

Yes, I think there is more that could be revealed from these. Exactly how to make them look is a matter of taste of course, but here is a different rendition of one of them, one that I particularly like actually - you caught a bubbler. Well done.

Yeah, I wanted more detail, but I oversaturated without actually brightening it properly. I had a bit of a bad day with these ones.
