Lovely, understated.

Getting ready to give her daughter away

Seeing the daughter a tad more in focus would make this more impactful for me. The dark object across the bottom also distracts my eye quite a bit.

For me the composition here feels unbalanced and heavy on the right- not centering the main subject would make this demand more investigation from the viewer. Excellent subject, beautiful exposure.

If we could see a little more of his surroundings - with him in a less centered composition- this might tell a stronger story. Otherwise he's just a cute guy ;)

The Lookout

Hard to tell what's in sharp focus here- if his eye was sharp, I think this would have been great in the bokeh challenge!

The light here is a bit harsh, and the subject is somewhat unappealing- it looks like someone sneezed on it.

To me, this has a lot of potential- great light, great clouds, great capture. The noise in the sky and the fuzziness of the trees hurts it, in my opinion.

Cool wind

This has the potential, to me, to be a great shot. The centered composition of the windmill hurts a bit, and the noise in the sky does as well. The entire image feels a little odd, as if the processing is a little off somehow- too soft in places and too sharp in others. And this is just an aside- is there writing on the top of the hills on either side of the windmill??

Nice, but doesn't wow me.

These are interesting figures, it would be great if they had a little breathing space - the crop on this feels very cramped to me.
