There's something odd about these, Fiona. I don't know what it is but they don't seem real, if you know what I mean. The last one looks more like a china ornament. Are they heavily processed?

#1 is pretty good but #2 has had no favours from the sun and there's too much detailess white.

They all do look Nutella'd to me (smoothed from removing noise), especially that last one

hmm sorry but there has been no heavy processing or even heavy cropping on them, the do look smoother here than the full res version, but thats probably down to compression, really dont understand this as i have done even less processing than normal on them.

Very weird! Compression will remove some detail but that last is 219k @ 720px, so there's no way that it'll remove anything like that much detail.
