Hi the okmqaz42 (interesting handle by the way :))

I love #1- the dark land and the pastel water and sky really work for me. I like the way the shore curves through the bottom and is matched by the jet trails. I also like how the land from the left converges to the land on the right. I think the exposure, sharpness and colour are right on.
#2. I like the soft feel and the crop on this. but it's not level and that's bugging me. It's tilting down to the right.
#3. very nice. the swan is a nice touch and the colour is rich. you can get the feel of quietness that must have been there that morning. there's a bit of noise but it's not too bad.

Hi Bambi, thanks for the feedback, I have straightened number 2 now, once you pointed it out it was all I could see! Funny story behind the noise on number 3- Camera was set to ISO 2000! i had been taking pictures in a very dark Pub on Friday night and forgot to change it back to something more sensible. The lesson here is always *always* check your settings...

Bambi's picked anything I would mentioned ... which is very little on very good photos like these.

I feel like you should refer to me as 'grasshopper' ;):evil2:

Got nothing to add. Bambi has summed it up well.
