All taken with some Sony Cybershot - this was the day I decided to buy a DSLR.

Congrats on going to the DSLR side!

Out of the series, I really like photos #2 and 3. Photo 2 would have been better without the shadow on the foreground. Other than that, the colors are awesome and the composition is interesting. Photo #3 is also good, I think it benefited from being converted into sephia. What slr did you get?

I suppose #2 could be cropped to get rid of that shadow.

And, a XSi.

I like the architectural shot of the conservatory.
However, the #1 and #2 shots seem to have some problem with color balance.

#3 looks pretty good, but I think the gnomon got bent by vandals.

Great decision.

You have the eye for it, but the Cybershot isn't doing your work any justice.

I like 3 the best out of these.

P.S. I just learned what a gnomon is.
