    Practicing in the backyard

    Basically OK, Alan. The first and last have a slight composition issue with objects creeping into the scene from the left side.

    The second image doesn't really work for me because there is too much out of focus. However, I never shoot yellow flowers in bright sunshine, except purely for identification, so at least your exposure looks good.

    OK.
    So I did a little work on two of the ones I posted and I'll add one more that I turned into a black and white.

    Those slight edits look good now, Alan.

    Last one looks fine. Obviously a rather harsh light but that has been well controlled.

    Thanks Geoff and Joe.
    Some more practice with a lens I just bought today. Got super lucky finding this one.
