three images in one - the quiet little corner of the rural world in the foreground, the intensity of the sea with the white caps, and the majesty of the mountains in the background - excellent

a great old barn - i love the perfec control of exposure on the sky to show the layers of clouds - they provide such a wonderful backdrop to the sharpness of the barn

what a pretty field and a lovely sky. i can see why it is hard to decide which to crop - but i am not a big fan of the centered horizon here - i think the sky is more dramatic and is more worthy of our attension. Possibly a different crop - horizontal with an emphasis on the sky would have provided more feeling of balance between the sky and the field
