NOVEMBER

Nice shot. One issue: it might have been good to try and burn in or apply a multiply layer to recover the detail in the clouds--they are overexposed a bit. Also, I might have cropped a bit on the right--the support area there is not too "seven wonders of the world" attractive.

... Bring MAY Flowers ...

Very painterly. I am not sure whether a filter was applied here or whether these are jpeg artifacts--but it works for you. But what really makes the effect is the bright white flowers in the background. I would have liked to see them a little bit more involved in the photo though. One other small suggestion: I think it might have been nice to crop the bottom a little and go a bit more panoramic.

All in all, very nice calendar shot!

Nice shot--trees are very painterly here. I hope you also grabbed a nice panoramic of those trees with that light.

October

Was trying to get the connection to October--then it hit, Halloween. Wondering what this is. Nice image. For a calendar shot this works, but this might have more impact even closer, and with some perspective shift.

Nice scene, a bit painterly, and that's good. Some more foreground light would have been good though--especially on the building to the right, which looks to have a great roof.

I struggled with this myself, but it seems to me calendar shots are always landscape (though I guess they could have borders left and right). Not taking off though, just pointing out. (Actually, I am going to try and go through and comment without actually voting...I am getting tired of "Scoring" images.)

I thought I had already left a comment on this one! But I'll leave another. Very nice, and this is an excellent entry into the impressionistic project thread!

This is great Margaret! I think you might also try a variant version extracting a bit more than the upper left quadrant. There's some interesting "brush" effects going on there, and you would get a nice closeup of the berries. (I am suggesting you keep this one but try a second variant--I like the whole shot as well!)

The colors are perfect for this as well.

This is fabulous! The one thing that I might suggest, though, is to try a version without the people in the back (perhaps by cropping or cloning). I think the effect with the driver and horses and background are perfect. The people in the cart, less so, and their bright faces are a bit of a distraction. Isolating them out somehow, it's like a beautiful painting.

Should you want to leave it as is--it's still a winner and going in my favorites.
