I'm sure it's a local thing, understanding how this picture is from Virginia as opposed to anywhere, but I have the text to help me with that, eh?
Very nice atmospherics.

Another very different image well thought out, composed and executed. The capture is very efficient in it's imagery and represents the rural nature of most states. The font selection and placement is good.

Although I didn't give it a 10 this is probably my favorite image. So simple yet perfect. I have a similar site up here in Canada. Wish I could get a sky to look like yours. Nicely done. 9
