6 - Nice. Criticism; a bit sharper if possible, especially to show the texture more. Perhaps a rotation and more selective crop (mainly to eliminate that stem on the left and the seedhead back right (losing it or incorporating it)) may have helped to make this even better in my opinion. The bokeh is nice, like to see the color just notched up a fraction if possible, but probably contrast issues in doing so, so who knows. Maybe even a 640 x 640, with more space to the left and above, but then there is that stem, and also depends what you had to work with. edit:typo

7 - Like this. Good colors and good background. Criticism; difficult, especially seeing as this was likely quite some distance from you, but like to see those colors even more vivid. Perhaps an attempt at desaturation, not sure, as the sky is a nice 'contrasting color' too. More detail also, especially in the pulley and chains (again difficult from this distance), and a greater depth of field (also difficult I imagine), would have made this even better in my opinion. Maybe a slightly different crop, especially to 'minimize' that 'rod'/whatever it is on the right there may also have helped.

I think this would have been better if you had concentrated more on your subject, a much tighter view would have worked here.

what great light in this composition! the photo has a soft, dreamy feeling as a result, which adds to that longing referenced in the title.
