don't think the fence adds anything. it drws my eye away from the fabulous barn. can't decide on the trees on the left - certainly doens't hurt the composition. good choice of sepia tone.

Misty Morning Lake

Comment:
nice effect.I might have cropped this a little tighter at the top to remove some or all of the blue. try it later...I'd like to see the result. I think it will add to the mystery of it. the lue seems to change the mood. really like the silhouette of the trees up front.

The greens look a little over-done on this...can't tell if that's the lighting, or if you slid your hues post-processing. I think it may be the lighting, as it looks a little flat. Nice backdrop...hope the clouds aren't a bad omen :)

Waiting for the dance to begin

great colour. would like a different perspective and or different crop (tighter OR wider - doesn't matter). the composition leaves me asking questions - what are they looking at? what are they doing? what's with the funny things on their legs? :) Has a nice feel to it. you make me like these guys.

Fence Line

great use of the frame and depth of focus. lighting looks flat (did you drop the contrast?). as an aside - the image is very small...try re-sizing your long-side to exactly 640 pixels next time. that's the largest you're allowed.

might have rotated this just a wee bit counter clockwise. I understand he may be on a hill, but it leaves the pic off-balance for me. like the composition and the colours in this.

At Water's Edge
by Gekker

Comment:
little soft in focus, and overexposed in the reflections on the water. it's a tough balance without the ability to dodge and burn. try using the gamma correction on the original, and maybe decrease the contrast a bit. As it stands the flare draws away from the kids (who are doing a great job of posing by the way. nice shot.

I like borders now, but I wouldn't use black with sepia - too overpowering.

A quiet life

The cloud shadows are interestng - I'l have liked it if you could get the clouds in the shot as well (not sure if it was possible - not a criticism, just a thought). I like how all the lines flow to the centre, so for that reason might have centred the house, or made it more off-centre. Being *just* off-centre makes the viewer wonder if it was intentional or not.
