Look good to me, my fav is the Tree and Blue saturated sky - great shot. Oh and the yellow bunny rabbit at the beginning.

I initially looked at these on the mobile, now on the monitor they are indeed superb, great clear shots with that DOF - wow!

SSF1957 - Stephen, yes I agree entirely with your CC's, I knew the wooden posts were a bit too dark, I am pretty sure I lifted them a bit from the shadows (perhaps in RT). I was playing but as usual in a rush as my time is limited on the PC (that's my excuse anyway), there is a new to me tool in ART which is a Mask Brush, so simple to use compared to RT. This was used but in "Texture Boost/Sharpening" for some reason - probably playing ?? however it will be ideal for local editing to lift more of the shadows. IIRC the shadow lifting in RT was getting too noticeable so I backed off.
So thank you for your comments, as it will surely be of help to not only myself.
Thanks to Lubbyman too, I agree the 3rd shot looks better cropped.
Perhaps the lack of sharpness wasn't helped (pics at f13 and f16 should have been suffice) with the two ND filters used together (sunny day) - a 10 stopper (glass) and a 4 stopper (Resin)

Thanks for the comments, appreciated.
None for my Wembury point shots tho ??

Re. Faces blurred out.
After taking 2 shots and finishing I was approached by a polite chap asking me not to photo the children. He explained his role (instructor and or teacher?) and I was OK with it. I have previously blurred a similar shot a year or 2 ago, and told him I would delete them, but decided to keep and blur.
I feel that I should never photo children, no big deal as mostly I do landscape.
Did read up just now on my rights BTW.
