Reshoots not possible. Not sure if any of these really stand out, :scratch but I thought I'd throw them up here and see if any can be whipped into shape.

    #1 - my eye is jumping between the sky (which I really like) and the trailer. And then in the middle is a big pile of vegetable matter. I like the conversion, but it is a bit too cluttered.

    #2 - I like the sunset clouds, but the farmhouse is too dark.

    #3 - A nice pastoral scene. You might try cropping it a bit. Lose the tree in the right foreground and some of the field at the bottom and maybe even some of the left side. Bring the farmhous more prominently into the foreground.

    #4 - Pretty and minimalist, but not much to hold me.

    #5 - a bit noisy. Maybe try a portrait crop to just the house and the flag.

    Of all of these, #1 engages me the most.

    #1 also engages me the most. I like the conversion but would experiment with a vertical crop featuring the cart.

    Mark. I like #1. I think it can work LS style with a bit more off the right. Then some contrasts tweaks might help as well.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll see if I have time to work on it tonight. I'm cutting it way too close.

    WhatSheSaw-- thank you for the detailed critique and honesty. thumb.gif.

    Angevin1 -- pardon my ignorance, but what is "LS"?

    I like your original #1, and agree with the suggestions from the others. I think you have a good entry here.

    If it's locked... find an open window.
