You know, there are those photographers who will put a naked girl just anywhere :-)

Just teasing. This is lovely, although there are a couple of items which don't really work for me. Most of them have to do with lines, since the lighting and the pose are terrific. But the vertical edge of the wall interrupts her curves at the hips and divides the image in half. And the bg dark wall is likewise overbearing and further helps to divide the image. I'm wondering why you didn't just both take a big step backwards. Oh, and the seat of her pants... While some might not get past the shape, all I can see is that they're wet. Which looks very odd... Don't you give your models a potty break?

Barbed wire, you can never have too much.

For a title which refers to a specific subject, that subject seems oddly absent or inconspicuous in the image...

Classic. I bet this is even better with some sepia (or stronger sepia) in it.

Fabulous lighting and energy here. And gorgeous colors. He seems a bit overbright compared to the surroundings, and oddly white when compared to the colors around him. I don't know if that's part of your processing, or that you don't let him out of the closet often enough :-)

Campagne; the Belgian countryside

Drat. I really wish there was more brightness to this image. It has all the makings of a terrific picture, but I find the lighting dull, and the elements all mushed together, tonally.

Beautiful. There is something very rhythmic about this image, the soft diagonal lines of the flower beds and horizon, maybe.

At first I thought this was a gourd of some sort and couldn't figure out how that was "country". Then I thought maybe some OTHER country. Then I finally figured out that it was the horn of a saddle. Beautiful saddle abstract, although the blurred elements behind it - especially the one on the far right - are a bit distracting, even if they add depth.

One of teh very few (actually the first I've seen so far) images that depict "country life" artistically! Glorious colors, and that lighting!! Oh my. I adore contre jour, and it has lit up the horse's whiskers, tail, and breath, and the man's sleeve, to fabulous effect. There is a real relationship here, not only between the man and horse, but between them and their surroundings, and to the dawn of day. Such warmth and depth. Thank you for this gorgeous capture.

Farm

For me this is a case of a really great scene taken from too far away. Compositionally, this image is all about the foreground - a vast expanse of gray gravel that takes up almost one half of the entire image. It even takes up more room than the sky, which is far more interesting. We can barely see most of the interesting things that say "country", such as the tractor and the cows. And the horizontal lines of the fence are mostly invisible. Perhaps cropping this harshly, from the left to the first cow, and from the bottom to just below the stone wall shadow would help, but getting closer would have been better :-)
