All of these photos were taken in Suffolk. I used a Cannon Eos 350D and I did not use a tripod!

I think they look really good, what kind of glass?

The brown grass, and the footpath sign are my two favourites.
The second green leaves (box or privet?) is just green and doesn't have a stand-out subject for me.
The cobweb shot is nice, very subtle thread up at the top of the image.
The first one, I'm distracted by that grey line (fence wire?) acorss the image.

Of the lot, the signpost I think is best.

I really like the footpath sign with the subtle cobweb. The lighting is really good and I like the way the sign points to the horizon and in line with the water. Nice composition.

The brown grass is excellent and I like the subtle tree in the background not just blurred by DOF but hidden in the mist. Nicely done.

The stalk with the web seems to be a little off in some way but I can't put a finger on why. I think it might be better as a square crop or if the stalk came through the frane at more diagonal if you get my drift. I do like how there is a clearer view of the background in the drop.

Not fussed about either of the greenery bits you have.

I like them all here. They look ALIVE to me.. the lighting is excellant. I may have given the green leaves shot a little more depth of field (smaller aperature number) and perhaps sharpened up # 3 and maybe # 1 a tad, but otherwise, very nice. The footpath photo is interesting. I like it, but wish that I could see more of where it was trying to pt me to. Ahh..

I think the footpath needs to be pulled back just a bit so the near side of the sign shows. Otherwise very good shot.
The single blade of grass with rain/cobweb would do well with a portrait frame, I think.
