My fav is the first image. Compsisition is great. I like road shots myself. I'd like to see it in black and white. However, the use of a moody overtone works very well.

The secound of the flower, hmm, perhaps use some direct natural light. The greyness of th background seems to make is bland. However, the contrast beween the grey background and the color of the flower is what you were aiming for, wonderful...get working at it.

The tree is neat, seems a little dark, but then my monitor may be different than yours. But dark. Perhaps adjust the curves a bit to lighter areas. Hmmm, try shooting this tree in winter and see the big difference that this tree can bring out in you image...You'll be amazed...

Keep itup.

Hi
Well the standout is the first one of the road. That could be put up on a wall ! Composition is great, road leading to a vanishing point. Everything about it I like. The others are nice but I find the tree a little dark and nothing really comes out and grabs me. Even changing your vantage point will have a better perspective for example lie down on the ground next to the tree and take it upwards for a better effect or put the lens up the side of the trunk. Experiment and the patience will pay off !

I like the first and 3rd, they are all good.

Gracias! With the "beaten path" picture (the first one) it was somewhat bland at first. I added some saturation to the reds in the photo, which made the dirt road pop out.

I tried black and white on that pic, however, for some reason it makes the picture look flat and not so 3d.

All look great. My fav is Natural Pond.

Thanks! I couldn't believe all the beautiful things on this dirt road. It's a little plantation road in south GA/north FL and it was just so scenic.
