This one looks like a post card. Possible just a little too much green corrections but not bad at all. Super.

I like this, tranquill for sure. For me, I do not see the expression of it though, just a feeling of it. It seems to have some jaggies on the rail(lower middle left) due to over sharpening plus slight halo. 8

I can almost hear the frogs croaking now! I love your photo, but it seems a tad too green for me. I enjoy the composition of the fence leading into the image.

Nice. Try cropping out the post on the far left and see how that looks.

This is an absolutely gorgous photo, and it fits the challenge quite well, very very nicely done! 10

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Artan...

I think this is a very peaceful image. I read through your comments and it seems that the collective 'voter' thinks you didn't really meet the challenge, which is unfortunate. There are several comments about the size of the 'people' and the people not being the main focus of your image. I disagree with both. The people are the subject of this photo, and no matter how large or small they are in the image, the photo simply wouldn't exist without them. In the context of a challenge, the average voter seems to have preconceived notions about what they want to see, which is normal. Everyone likes to talk about getting outside the 'box', but when we do so, our scores normally suffer for it. Creative thinking an a challenge mode is a good thing, but you have to do it while beating the voter over the head with the topic, so it isn't so easy in most cases. I wouldn't chage much about this particular photo. Nice work :)
