Steve I want to ask you something and that is: post one image at a time, please
It gives me more concentration on one shot only and I don't have to be in a hush to drop some lines about all of them. Please. OK ?
What stroke me at once in the first one:
- Composition fine but lack of DoF at the end of the image. This is important and this is the reason I don't like it that much. Sorry Steve.
On the other way - and still on this image - please "darken" a bit the right side of the picture where that water and that sky are. And - to finish this one - I think there is too much area on the top of the image. Try to get around this issue making a more tight crop at say 4/3.
- Too tight the image. Be a little more generous to the right and try to get someone on the field. A cow will do Move also a little bit more on the road itself, to the right. Good DoF.
- Get yourself down, on your knees Get me those flowers invading the screen with no road on the far right. Fill the image with flowers taking advantage of the arc - what's the English for that ? - which is just above the flowers like a basket.
Be aware of the sky - the background after all is important not only in portraiture but everywhere...
Try one with wide aperture focusing on the foreground flowers and another on the background flowers with the same aperture. Repeat with the smallest aperture you can hold to get everything in focus or get a tripod for the job. Consult a DoF table and get the right aperture for the job.
Sorry Steve if I write telegraphically but I need some time for myself.

Straighten the crop Steve. Less field this time.
Too much ground. Good sky. Good option the vertical frame.

Thank you Steve for posting. Thank you
