welcome, good first trys. natural light i presume. a bit of added contrast in photoshop might add a bit to them. good compositions well done.

Hi ther Wizzy, ahhhhhh new toys hu :wink
Always room for improvement as you become more familiar with the gear.

These are al ittle on the light side, you are definitly there for composition.

Pretty good, and I bet the next lot will be even better :thumb ... Skippy :D

Phil,

Thanks for the tip about the contrast. Will play with that to see what it does with the picture.
Ans yes, i did not use any flash, just the sunlight on a bright day.

Skippy,

New toys are always nice... As Phil suggested to play with constrast, it might be good to compensate for the lighting also. I shot then in RAW so i have room enough to play with.
I concentrated too much on the subject to get it right in the picture. Practice is needed to get all parameters right. I did not use a tripod, shot it 'from the hip' . So next time i will try to follow up some tips and tricks mentioned in this forum.
Thanks for your comment....
