I like No 2, tough is it me or is it not quite level?

I also like No4 Ilike the colours and your eyes are drawn straight to the subject on the beach. Well done.

I am no bird expert.
This bird has arrived in our garden and taken up semi residence.
It is a little bigger than a blackbird and is quite agressive towards any other birds, actively chasing them off all the time but I have no idea what it is.

Anyone?

No 2
The diagonal out of the bottom right is nice, maybe would have been good if you could have worked one of the roof lines into a corner.
Nice colours the beige against blue and the blue in the windows.

As mikew more a study in angles the skeletons are irrelevant as they are insignificant.

Had a quick go at it, not quite there yet but in the right direction maybe?

Thanks for the comments
Lennardinio - Not HDR but I have manually held back the exposure on the area with the sun to reduce clipping.

mattcambs - No2 is perhaps oversharpened

Thordell - You are right about 'step' I shall try and clone that out t may imprve the image.

I left all the others sleeping off the new Year hangovers and set out for a few photos in the crisp morning light.

C&C welcome

This was the first shot, there was something good to be had here though I had to trespass a little to get the shot so rushed it. I think i could have done better. The shadow of the tree spoils it slightly for me.

This second shot of a footbridge seems a bit cluttered by branches to me and thepost in the water kinds of detracts from the eye.

The third shot was further upstream and was taken as an afterthought. A little further up from here somebody was skinny dipping. I spared them a shot though.
