Here are two pics which I have now had an opportunity to do some mild pp on.
The eagle
The ELDO launcher
one more
The gamma ray telescopes

All three of these are great, but I especially like #2 & #3...
#2 because your PP has improved a good shot with good composition into a great shot
#3 because it's unusual subject matter with an interesting range of colours...
Well done Tony...

Very interesting shots. I also really like two and three, excellent compositions and interesting subjects. Well done.
Birds on the wing are hard though.

I also like the 2nd & 3rd, but #2 is very impressive. At first glance I saw a nice use of a gutter to provide the leading lines for the pic. Then I saw the person at top left and the whole scale changed. The person makes the shot for that reason since in this one scale is very important. Well done.

#2 now looks great with the more punchy colours and with the different sense of scale that stubbsy pointed out (I couldn't discern the person in the pic the first time round).
#3 is strange and beautiful. I like it a lot.

Thanks for the kind words, the mirror array on each of the telescopes is 10m which means they are huge. The ELDO launcher is nearly 10 stories high...

As the others, I love all three shots. For me, #3 is the best. Love the range of colours and composition and the subject matter. Love the way the landscape is reflected in the mirrors.
Thanks for sharing,
Radar

All really nice images in their own right. The Gamma-Ray telescopes are quite interesting.

Matt, thanks for the kind words. The eagle had just flown of a post. This was taken at 400mm hand held - sigma 80-400 OS lens. The gamma ray scopes are a jointly operated by australia and japan, they run at a few of million dollars each.
