Nice series,3rd and 5th are good.
1st seems a bit pale,OE i guess,if u r using nikon gear,set vivid pic control for flower shots,
top portion of the church is cut,which is not working ,for architecture shots i thnk at least the frontal parts of the buld shud be covered.(my opinion)

1st shot...bit pale and OE

2nd shot...I wish you could have included the house on the left a bit more...

3rd...is good but a bit of OE areas in clouds but

4th....Exposure could have been brought down and looked better if it was shot @ lower aperture.

5th Nice comp....

6th the top of the church should have been included....

Thanks Deepak for the feedback.

for the first one i did not increase exposure much. I increased the shadows though.
It looks pale coz there was less light due to clouds and i did nt increase contrast much as pic was becoming darker..

vineeta...few exposure problems, that is natural--one your mind reads, another your camera reads--you have brought a super bouquet ...hearty congrats..
Reg outdoor, i keep one stop minus in exposure compensation... I get good saturation and if pic goes a little bit down, ps is my best friend. All the best.

yeah....once anybody is before a scene, his mind visualises it to capture it in the camera. now he holds the camera before the scene to shoot it, but before clicking, he has to be sure about exposure to shoot it on A,S,M,P....camera reads the scene and gives the exposure of the scene, but depending upon it to be on spot, centre-weighted or evaluative metering system.
To get the exposure as per my liking, i use one stop minus in exposure compensation on M mode.
As photocool wrote first a bit pale OE, so I felt and mentioned.
