nr 2 is interesting. Still bit too strong attention going to up left.
I like the style. but maybe composition could be bit better.

I like nr 3 too. I would crop out quite lot from right and also bottom. So that the focused part (plant) will come to the right lower 1/3 point. It will give better direction to the pic as well.

My opinion only.

Ohw, I'd missed these! I, too, really like no. 3 and no. 5, though I think the last one might have been even better in portrait mode. I love the beach and the sea! Great pictures!

Number three the fence and grass is the one that appeals most but it might be an idea to desaturate it a bit just to tone it down. Fiddling with the crop would probably get a better composition.

Not bad shots. Overcast days like this are easy on the white balance but difficult on the final projection of strong punchy colours. I like the idea of picture no 1. Try it again may with less cluttering. It seems to be a little too busy. Otherwise great idea. The fourth last shot is great! Really nice selective cropping and desaturation. I would recommend on days like these to shoot in black and white and tweak you contrast slightly. They will have another affect. keep on shooting

Some nice images Lee, my favs are 2, 3 and 5.

Nice abstract in 2, like the composition and DoF in 3 and just like the tones, crop & feel of 5.
Cheers

No.s 3 and 5 for me as well. 3 is a fantastic shot, I would be tempted to crop a little off the left.
No. 4 is a bit too saturated for my taste.

Good series!
