I like the first three, Stuart. The following is an opinion rather than advice - for me the land in the last two needs a bit more brightness (but keeping contrast high).

I like the first three in particular Stuey, number three is my favourite. The focus on number 2 is ever so slightly forward of ideal as it's not razor sharp on the teasel head, but it's still a nice shot.

I think you got some crackers here. Well done.

I think the nicest shots may well be in the last 2, just waiting to be brought out. I'd probably crop just beneath the sun. Then adjust the levels slightly to brighten them a tad and put a grad on the sky to darken that back down.
I like #2 but for me 1 and 3 both needed a bit of gardening done at the edges of the frame.

Thanks guys
I almost always compose shots without the sun or at least very well obscured sun but decided to try something different.
Given that the general consensus of opinion seems to be to crop the sun out this may change my mind on this.
I find this interesting as part of my reason for wanting a '15mm ltd' is the flare resistance so that I may take this type of shot more effectively, but given the general opinion here I may resist LBA for while longer which makes my 'next purchase' and even more boring and lengthy process my fault for being tight/ hesitant an prone to changing my mind
The shots with the sun had an ND4 grad on camera/lens and some additional 'grad work' done on the PC whilst I altered the shadows and highlights to my preference which is at odds with the opinions of other which I appreciate and will use it as a learning exercise
Soonish (slight DIY delay)I will post some more versions based on the kind suggestions of the people above
Thanks again for the comments
Cheers

On an evening stroll last week I took the K10D and Vivitar 28 and this is what happened
In truth I was mucking around with lens flare (or avoiding in as best possible) and different angles etc - still room for improvement, help and advice welcome
