Good effort, I like the 1st and 3rd, 1st would have probably benefited with some fill flash to bring out more facial detail. With the B&W to me it just lacks overall detail.
C&C welcome.

1 and 3 are great, well done.
Also, Clifford's Castle?! I'll have to visit.

Definitely a good first set!! All three are decent photos. The 2nd one didn't get much love but I quite like it. I've tried to photograph morris dancers before and it's a nightmare, always too many bystanders! You've got a nice angle though, and some great dynamic poses there. It is quite dark though! Hope you don't mind, I had a tinker with it (just increased the brightness and adjusted the curves). I cut off the right side guy as I think he was too close to the edge of the frame.

Much better PP, but I think the removal of the right guy has lost some of the vibe and atmosphere of the scene. Original composition was much better IMHO

Good set, like the purple man shot, although the brighter background lets it down as said, a lighter face me thinks.
