what shutter speed was the first one, it looks like the foreground has movement (breeze?) in it as well as being deliberately out of focus?
Cheers Steve I like the last one too.

The camera setting for the top pic are as follows:

f2.8 - 1/200 second - ISO 200 - @200mm

You are correct in the fact that there was a right to left breeze, this only shows on the foreground as the inside of the wood was obviously more sheltered.

I really like the lead in lines on this picture, it does draw you all the way to the end even though it is out of focus.

I am going back to take more pics this weekend at a much better time of day, about 6pm. Due to the orientation of the woods, the late evening sun will be streaming through the woods. I will also retake the last pic with a bit more depth of field, something like f5.6.
