First efforts...

Thought I would post some of my first LF images. They were all taken the other weekend down on the Suffolk coast using my Chamonix 45N-1 and Velvia 100. On the whole I'm relatively pleased with the results but some contain obvious user errors. Saying that they have helped me enormously to understand the whole LF process and, as they say, you only learn through making mistakes. Would appreciate some of the more experienced LF'ers thoughts?
Southwold Pier - taken with a Super Angulon 90mm f5.6, Velvia 100, 0.3 Soft Grad & warm up filters. On reflection I should have used a 0.6 hard grad and given it half a stop less.
Old Buoys - taken with a Symmar 180mm f5.6, Velvia 100, no filters. I quite like the dark moodiness of this composition but could have benefitted from half a stop more...
Old Ropes - while taking the old buoys above I noticed the wonderful colours and textures in the ropes, this is my favourite of the set. Symmar 180mm f5.6, Velvia 100, no filters. I stopped down to f45 to get as much DOF as I could but there are still soft areas.
Old Shack - taken with a Symmar 180mm f5.6, Velvia 100, no filters. I'm happy with this but just an exercise in colour and texture really.
Old Wheel - taken with a Symmar 180mm f5.6, Velvia 100, no filters. Again the shape, colours and textures appealed to me but was disappointed with the fact that it isn't pin sharp within the wheel rim, was taken at f32, perhaps should have stopped down more.
Thanks for looking
