    Don,

    Again this seems over sharp to me - what does it look like coming straight out of the camera - have you got a setting on your camera set to very sharp? if so try toning it down a bit.

    It may also be that the light is extremely bright so perhaps earlier or later in the day would help.

    The first two are lovely composition. How did you get the white background?

    The last one is too cluttered for my liking.

    The background is the sky. I did sharpen a little.

    I like the first one best. It looks a bit like a Japanese screen print. All of the images seem a bit "hot" in the highlights, making them mostly white and lacking detail. Also the last two images seem a little busy to me. They lack the simplicity of the first.
