I like the first 3 with the third being my fav. Keep up the great works!

Anyone like #4? Why or why not?

#3
The 3rd one is my favorite too.
For last one, in this case a portrait, was appropriate to use a lower aperture number to get that blurred background. 7.1 is too much... Anyway good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

I am all about # 3 as well. I looks like it was taken from a film reel of a movie.

Thanks for the comments. I really liked the tree and tried to include it in #4 as much as possible. Perhaps that was a mistake. The one problem is that the face on the left is all muddled and muddy. I'm not sure why. I think I need to go back and see if it was like that in the RAW or it got all messed up in the post processesing.

The problem with 4 as I see it is I'm not sure where to focus on, the tree or the subject. I'm assuming it's the young lady you're after, but the composition suggests both tree and lady. Plus, with a lack of depth of field, the tree looks flat and chaotic.
