Hi Tim,

Overall, some nice images there. If they were mine, I might have tried the following tweaks (and I'm being overly picky which is what I do with my shots);

Flowers in the garden - I think the image would benefit from the flowers nearer the lens being in focus, maybe not the extreme left one but some of the others. A crop/re-compose to remove the dark strip across the top might help too - I've just put my finger over the dark section and it looks better to me. And maybe the use of a polariser to remove some of the glare from the wet grass? A few burnt highlights in there...

Route to Scafell Pike - is that a path in the right hand side? If so, I think I might have stepped to the right a bit to include it to draw the eye into the picture - at the moment, I take in the distant peaks but almost skip over the rocks...

Blue boat - think I would have either rotated the camera to have the boat running diagonally across the frame from corner to corner - or stepped back to take 'Blue Boats' instead of Blue Boat...

BMX - good timing and capture. Maybe a tad longer shutter to blur and give a sense of movement (but I am absolutely rubbish at these kind of shots).

Millenium Bridge - I like the cross-processed type look - think the sky needs a bit of detail though as the process has ended up with an almost burnt out sky which is creeping into St Paul's dome.

On the whole though, a good set of images with potential - I'm just being overpicky as that's what I like in critique as you dont really learn if everyone says 'WOW!'

Keep going and let us see your next batch!!

Cheers
Andy
