The last two just ooze quality - simple, clean, crisp and effective
The first one at 1/15th on 450mm is quite something - are these tripod or handheld Chris :

I like them all especially the swan. Amazing quality for hand held with the 150-450.

The duck is a real winner. The colours are wonderful. You must be very pleased with that camera -lens combo.

Thanks Peter, yes the combo is pretty much my goto wildlife kit, just means I need to be at least 2m from the teasel for example cos of the min focusing distance.The duck is a real winner. The colours are wonderful. You must be very pleased with that camera -lens combo.
The 150 - 450 does take a while to get used to and master.

'a little makeover' That's an understatement. Chrism8 took a great picture, (as always - must not be envious, (fail)) and then you created this. I love it, real art there as well as technical expertise. And please, don't just say 'all I did was...' Two great photographers / artists.

Btw, forgot to say that my favourite was the duck. The way you captured the colours and the ripples...

Following on from Peters swan edit, I've tweaked it on a similar level, but have left a bit more space around the swan.
Thanks Peter for the idea, it was quite easy to do, All I did was .............

I think the more space edit is better. Mine was too tight in hindsight.
