Great texture on both the clouds and the barn, like some people have said above this really is a timeless shot. The only thing that might be worth post-processing or photoshopping out is the water tower on the horizon; otherwise it's spot on.

The patterns are nice, specifically the cross of vertical and horizontal. The near square framing makes this picture a little confusing, but I like it because it draws my attention more. I think maybe cutting off the top of the frame right at the sky would equal the picture out (there's no repitition in the sky, so it feels a little unbalanced vertically) but overall it's a great picture. Thanks for sharing..

I'm digging the head tilt of the skull in the background; it brings to mind an army officer's condescension... Good FOV and composition, the organic profile of the front skull looks great with the back one. I'm reading "Frankenstein" right now and this definitely fits in with the mood; maybe a dust jacket cover in your future?

Great capture, the sand and shine of the water running back are perfectly adjusted. I wish there were a way to have lightend her face a little because it's hard to make out exactly what expression she has, but perhaps that's part of the whole scene.

Your framing with the horizon just below center is spot on; did you shoot it like that or crop it afterwards?

Great texture on the pipe; I really like the crossing radial swirls, or whatever you'd call them. This looks like a hard print to develop, because your background wall could stand a little more contrast but some parts of the foreground (the elbow at the pipe) are washed out. Was the contrast blown out in the scanning?

Either way this is a fun piece... tfs

I love how each of the leads is just barely in focus, but enough to show their differences (especially the right-most one leaning off to one side; it lends a bit of movement to what might otherwise have been too static a macro). Well done.

I love the way the people break the first and second cloud layers. I tried to do a workshop for you to crop, but couldn't get one off center that I liked better than your centered composition. Nice shot.

Great shot; I like the reeds in the upper left. If you lowered the POV you could have gotten a little more feeling of action, but that might not have been possible. Well done!

Good job of capturing the grey-greens... I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the horizon right where it is, although I'm not sure if moving it up or down would be better. Good shot though!

Great combination of low speed film and warming filter; the color looks great. I love the detail on the ceiling, although I agree a little photoshop sharpening could make it a little better in the treklens upload. Nice!
