Flowers are nice. As the road is tilted to the right, I feel like the trees on the left are somothering your subject. Seems like a small point but it's destracting once my mind has latched on to it! I love the wildflowers. Their color is reflected in the sky. Good luck.

A really nice shot. Almost the story of a "gunslinger" or what remains. Well done - should have scored higher.

I really like how the background supports the title and foreground subject. Is the horizon tilted or is it on a hill?

Some really nice tone-mapping on this composition. I like that the western boots step up as the front and center main subject of this photo. The background also adds visual interest for we see a cow pasture (at least they look like cows more than horses to me) and some barns along with fence. That backdrop also shows the working environment of the main subject. Love the details and the highlights & shadows on the boots. The only critique I have is that the backdrop is tilted to the right whereas the boots are level this makes the world seem lop-sided and appear odd to the eye. Having the horizon level as well as the main subject would be less confusing to the eye.

not keen on the background but the tonemapping works well here.
