I love 2 and 3. The mix of textures and shapes in the second it excellent and there's a lot of depth to the shot..

Just to be different, #1 stands out to me. Ij just want to walk into the picture.

#3 is a close second.

Nice group of shots here.
Number 3 is my choice. Fantastic colors and framing. Suitable for framing!


I felt the framing of number 2 was off a little, the trees on either side of the frame are both cut off.

Nice textures and interesting composition on number 1.

Number four: nice colors, good solid composition.

good work!

Beautiful tone, texture and colours. The beautiful light has served you well.

The golden light falling on the scene in #2 together with the framing has created a very pleasing image.
I think the horizon needs slight adjustment in #3. Th tree in the background seems a little tilted.
Last the canola fields, beautiful colours and scene. Don't know if you used a tripod or wind was a factor but a little sharpness needed in the foreground canola. Perhaps even cropping a little off the bottom to remove some of that negative space that doesn't really enhance the image at all. Hope that makes sense :)
cheers

Nice work! You have an eye for landscapes and know how to play colours against each other. Pix 1,2 and 4 work beautifully for me. Pic 3 is weak in the composition as the curve of the rock in the foreground leads the eye out of the image space. This diminishes the tree in the background which almost appears as a seperate image.
