These have worked well, particularly considering the fairly high Iso settings.

Possibly the first one is a fraction overexposed.

The second is perfect.

I wonder about a very slight crop from the bottom and right side of number 3 to reduce the area of shadow.

The last is good, but I would consider cloning out the two items in the bottom right corner to give better balance.

Geoff,

Thank you for your comments, I was thinking the same, I was unsure as there are too many pixels in view on first pic, I was amazed by the colours I was getting, using AV in hindsight I may have gone for shutter instead,

[Geoff F]

Av to control the aperture, and the depth of sharp focus, is definitely the best approach with these shots. Just beware of ending up with too slow a shutter speed for hand held shots, or use a tripod.

Also watch for any subject movement with slow shutter speeds, but that wasn't an issue here.

Geoff,

I used a tripod, but missed the ISO and shutter speeds, too engrossed in the colours I was seeing !
