Loved No. 2 so much that I hope you don't mind but I copied it and popped the colors a tad.

They're all beautiful, both your choice of subject matter and the compositions. You might straighten the slightly tilted horizon on the first picture, a minor nit-pick. We visited London for two weeks in May, 2012 with a Nikon D5100 and fell in love with England. Gloomy, raining, or drizzle most of the time made bird photography challenging.

Your photos are excellent in the English cloudiness, they pop off the page.

In #1 it would have been better if you had used a Graduated Grey filter (such as a Cokin) to give some detail in the sky. The other are great. From Beachy Head, I presume)

Thank you for your time and effort. No, I do not mind -- it provided the type of feedback I am looking for.

Go for it. This is the type of feed back I am looking for.

I agree and I wish I had taken my Cokin & tripod with me.

I may try to post process a GNF affect. Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, it is Beachy Head.

All shots were handheld; Ap priority; on a very windy gusty day. It was a glorious day for walking along the cliffs.

It is a great shot and you could do so much more with it. Have you ever used the Topaz plug ins? They would work some magic on that shot.

I do not use Topaz. I use Photoshop sometimes. I'll look into Topaz. I have to admit I am partially color blind.

Thanks
