Ya gotta love those rednecks and their love of guns.

Nice efforts.

Just a few casual thoughts, Rob.

#1 is OK but somehow it seems to lack a reason for taking the shot? Maybe the right side is too 'heavy' and is grabbing all the attention without really adding anything positive? I wonder about cropping square and losing some of the right side so the road leading into the far distance would have more visual importance? Alternatively, possibly take a little from the left as well and go to 4 x 5 ratio?

#2 has the Jeep too close to the bottom edge and there are a few spots of light flare on the left side which could be cloned out.

#3 has a better Jeep position but is it a fraction on the over saturated colour side?

#6 has the dog close to the bottom edge but it is looking into the scene so in this case the position isn't a problem.

#8 looks over complicated and with a harsh light so it doesn't really work for me.

I'm especially impressed by No. 7. It reminds me of some of the work the late Eliot Porter did. Well done!

No. 8 - At first glance, it seems a bit off-balance with the brightness in the lower right. However, I could envision it differently in a larger, wall-mounted print. It reminds me of a psychedelic music poster from the late '60's; "Jimi Hendrix-ish".

I kind of like number 8 - it has an abstract look to it. There is something of a street photography quirkiness about 4.

I like #4 -- we have a sign almost like that at our hangar that says: Don't shoot! Men at work! It was full of shots. My stepson found it on a farm in North Dakota while he was at university there and brought it home here.

Definitely #7 is my favourite.
Why do people have the urge to shoot perfectly harmless signs???

Because they're there!

I have no complaints and i do like all of them very much

I like #1 best. It gives the atmosphere of a managed forest without humans. I also like #4 and #7 for the same reasons. The last one, #8, does have an interesting abstract effect.
