I especially like the third one down of the pampas grass. Nice movement.

I particularly like the second. The other three look really dark.

I'm with Jeremy.  The first one for example has a great sense of movement but you really need to lift the shadows.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I think I was a little heavy handed when pulling down the curve ;)

Not entirely successfully, IMHO. Now none of them seems to have any deep blacks, they all look simply over-exposed. FWIW, I didn't think #2 needed anything done to it at all. I think ##1 and 3 are worth some more work.
