    The second shot is pretty cool. :D

    These are a little dark, Steve. Metering against an overcast sky makes going on the plus side with exposure compensation a necessity. Better to blow out the sky and have your subject properly exposed. Of course that's easy to say after the fact.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
