This must've been very pretty in color, too. I like the soft grain & gentle shadows. I didn't notice the border right away, but it's not doing this comp any favors.

Very good use of light, shade and silhouette. A quality image.

Good contrast, in two different meanings of the word.

Big improvement. My only critique is the bark has a slightly purplish hue now.

This is nice but you have your horizon almost dead center, I know it's not perfectly on center but maybe try taking just a tad more of the bottom or top. Also burn that tree trunk sara was talking about. Make it blend in more. I also wish there was a bit more detail in the shadows. I like the trees dark but not so dark as to lose detail (on the front two, the back ones are fine)

This one is really nice but the focus is in the wrong spot. The flowers in front of the fence should be in focus as well and so it does weird tricks to my eyes.

Prefer this edit, but still don't think it is for the FS.
