...and we have a picture window, too!

Very nice colors, and I like the frame within the frame concept, but I think you've focused on the wrong element in the picture. The structure pictured within the window should be more focused less on the inside wall framing the main structure.

Absolutely beautiful framing of the image by the tree branches above and the grasses below. Just not a whole lot of interesting subject matter in the center part of the photo. Also, I'm kinda neutral about the B&W.

This photo is a bit busy but exhibits beautiful tones and contrast.

Nice composition and I like the nicely saturated colors, but think the image could use more exposure.

Country Bride

I think a more effective shot would have been to crop out the bottom of the image right below the lower left sleeve. The background subjects of the mountain and sky are very strong elements and I wish they were blurred more so as not to compete with the bride.

Nice close up shot and good DOF but could use some more contrast.

Sattle

Wonderful duotones here and excellent contrast! Composition is very interesting as well as I love the softness of the saddle as compared with the hard rock and wood in the background. DOF is also very good and I like the way the background is only slightly blurred to help isolate the subject, but not enough to totally obscure it Only the distraction in the lower left hand corner mars this photo, but not by much. 9

Highland Calf

Beautiful photo as you've really captured the textures and colors of the animal's fur and straw very well. Lighting very good and I like the way the engorged nipple is evident. Good job!

Farming
by hawkida

Comment:
Composition is very interesting as I like the way the structures on the left and bottom frame the photo and also seperate the image into different square/rectangular shapes, kind of indicative of the shapes of different fields on a farm as viewed from above. If this was your intention, good idea ! I do however find the duotone colors here weak and uninteresting, most likely due to lack overexposure and lack of contrast. Focus is also soft and I'm not exactly sure what the main subject is here.

I like the leading lines of the fence and road as they lead the eye towards the door of the house. Composition is good, however, I don't find the subject all that interesting and there is nothing else in the image that stands out enough to make it more interesting. Perhaps cropping out the left side of the photo and moving your view so that the house is more left of center and showing more of the field and tree on the right would have improved it...I don't know.
