From a composition point of view these are great shots
These same shots taken in better light would be really nice I think
St Annes Park is a great place for shots, I find late in the evening when the sun is starting to go down you get great light in there. I would try the above compositions in better light and your on to a winner. Photography is all about revising locations in better light to get the shot…
Had a play with the 3rd one in photoshop, boosted colours using curves and selective colour. Compare your shot with this version side by side. The Selective colour tool is very powerful if used correctly

PS: Second shot is similar to a shot i took (great minds think alike :-) ), see link below

Have to agree with Martin, the first two have a great compostion and I think they’d really work well in B&W too. They might even be better in B&W.
For the colour versions a little play with levels and contrast could really lift these. I probably like the first one the best. The second one is not really as sharp as it could be.He’s also right about re-visiting locations to get it right. I had to visit the Giants Causeway 3 times before I got a shot I liked, I’ve been to Elephant Rock/Ballintoy 3 times and never gotten a shot I’d call a keeper, so it’s really all down to your luck with the light, and a little planning.
Thanks for the replies.
The Selective colour tool worked really well, thanks for taking the time to edit and show me.
i like the adjustment of martin. would crop the images on top (sky) and the bottom (to many uninteresting leaves) and turn it into a square. then it has a very sacred feeling and the focus goes to the treestructure and the chanel. Just a suggestion.
