I really like the first photo with the tree, gives the impression that it has a bit of a halo. All it needs is a little angel singing music

I like the mood of the first picture, though it could benefit from a little cropping on the right... usually some forground will help an image but in this case I feel that it isn't substantial enough to achieve that. Very nice mood photo though.

I'd also like to lose the lightpost... so if you could rip that down overnight and retake the image tomorrow we are all set

Thanks Wayney. Thank you Bob. I didn't even see that lampost--I did clone out one on the left.

I think that these feel more calming and organic than the highly sharpened ones we talked about yesterday - much more appealing to the eye.

To my eye, #1 would improve from a crop to remove some clutter and highlight the main subject (the sun?).



This is literally a 2 second crop - and I am sure it is only one of dozens possible.

In #2, my eye has a difficult time picking out the subject - I think I know what it is but my eye just keeps roaming around the photo.

I see parts of this photo I really like though - and you may be able to pull lovely little details from the photo at several points.

such as...



This severe crop has also has "cutout" applied to it.

Please feel free to disregard any or all of these opinions. They are just my $.02

Interesting. Thanks Toad.
