Cow country

I really would have preferred it if the cows had raised their heads instead of lowered their heads. :P Just kidding. I think this is a very true-to-life depiction of a gorgeous landscape - sky is absolutely an important part of what makes this environment sing.

Very nice timing! Clone out the cloud in the very upper left corner and you've got yourself a postcard.

Hey, we all take 'em, and better than the average Joe, who also takes a lot of 'em. This one is very pleasingly composed, and is a nice sunset pic!

I like the lighting a lot. For the purposes of a portrait I would like to see this cropped a lot, bringing it in to include just her head and shoulders. For a beer ad, this is excellent. It might be fun to play with a cropped version in PS. I'd try selective desat of the cushion and background with a warm tone (sepia?) added, and I'd also try blurring the background more. That might make it more of a portrait and less of a candid. You might also try the cropped version in B&W, which is always effective for portraits if the lighting is good.

well composed shot, petals could be a little sharper. nice lighting, though top right corner is a bit bright. white border is ok here. typeface of headline is somewhere in between, a classic typeface would have worked better, as would a modern sans-serif one; font color is a tad too bright. Handwriting font of subline works well again.

Looks like a studio portrait - senior picture day for the lemurs. :-) Nicely done.
