She does look filled with joy. I like the overall tones in this shot .. just wish the model was turned so both eyes could be seen... and that's just a personal preference of mine.

I have always loved and gave a print of flaming June to a friend of mine named June. I think you have paid great homage to the original in this wonderful rendition.

Buck

This shot makes me miss home. I now live in CA and all I see are mule tail deer and they just lack the majesty of the white tails.
This is a solid shot that perfectly showcases the defiant buck guarding his does. You were very fortunate to get so close ..they have been known to attack humans - glad you weren't :)
As others have stated, a bit of cloning would improve the composition, maybe sharpen a tad more but you might want to just leave it as you shot it .. memories are sometimes more important.
I really like that you caught the glint in his eye.

Barn in black & white
by Fromac

Comment:
Well with that many views, it deserves a comment or 1000 - wonderful composition and post processing .. the sky is so dramatic that it almost over powers the landscape but doesn't ... you were able to achieve a very good balance. It looks so much like my late grandfather's barn and land that it gives me a feeling of deja vu - thanks for posting this.
