Beautiful color. I love how the background is darker to make the bright subject stand out more. I would have enjoyed a more shallow DoF but I suppose that is to taste.

Landscape

Now here's a shot where the wires work to form the composition. Combinned with the pole, all the lines lead to a focal point just under that moving cloud. Lovely use of slower shutter speed to record some movement!

I like the landscape. It's nice and bright and shows off the spring season. Water is always a good element to have and you have nice framing with the trees. I would say to move in and shoot with a wider focal length to get rid of the uninteresting foreground. Or zoom in from that position to include more of the middle of the scene framed by the trees further out to the edges. Another option could have been to shoot lower from that position to get a better perspective with the foreground included.

Lovely leading line and I really like the dawn/dusk lighting. I like that it has a soft focus effect which compliments the lighting however, there does appear to be a lot of camera shake due to being handheld at slower shutter speed. Just as a reminder to myself because I fall prey to this all the time, the best ratio of shutter speed to focal length for handholding is 1/zoom length. Therefore at 50mm the shutter should be no less than 1/50. And as a recommendation handholding any less than 1/50 - 1/60 is probably going to cause slight camera shake. A tripod could have helped here.

Wondeful light!

The Village Church

I think using a more strict rule of thirds composition and putting the church building not only into the bottom third, but also into the left most third of the frame would have created a much, much stronger composition, especially combined with the leading lines of the crops.

I like how the waters edge takes you right to the people creating a focal point, yetI can still enjoy the entire scene you have depicted.

Rotation of the horizon is a key part of processing the landscape.
