Nice, though that bit of black (rung of the gate, I'm guessing) is distracting. Still...very nice.

Wow, dahkota, this jumped out at me from the thumb! Very good compositionally. Is that a tri-tone? I like the tone very much. Did you apply gaussian blur? Or gel the lens? I really like the soft focus/blur. I think it suits the image very well, it has a wonderful feel. And still very good detail. I like this photo very much!
thanks :-)

A nice shot. Perhaps a bit underexposed in the upper background? Then again, it draws you to the bright subjects.

This makes me so very homesick. Love it!

I like the composition on this and the idea, but the great amount of dark negative space on top as well as the lack of sharpness hurt it overall.
Maybe 20% or so off the top as it is would help. (5)

I agree that this might not be the best for the theme but nonetheless, it's a striking image. I think the BW works well in this image alhough there's something about the middle part of the photo that doesn't seem right. I can't put my finger on it though :(

This is great! I love your take on the challenge theme. I don't know if you rotated on purpose to lose something in the image upper left, or if you did it intentionally to add a unique feel to the photo. Either way it works. B/W is the best choice here as the green in the background trees would have been distracting. Very nice. Good luck in the challenge.

Very fitting. Excellent composition. Would like to see better focus on the men, though.

I love the animal shot. Great perspective. I like the angle of it as well.

I think you should have cropped right under the cow's nose. I don't think you'd have lost much of the feeling of looking up, and visually it would have more impact.
