wow no comments. I was hoping for cc...

To be honest, Ken, the only one that caught my eye was the twilight shot. It would have been nice if the car behind would have closed up a bit to get more benefit of his headlights... but it's a cool shot.

The two quasi-signature shots.. (barn and oak tree) honestly, are a bit weak. There are angles that incorporate the barn MUCH stronger... I'm guessing about another 100' to your left. Also not keen on the sloppy horizon angle.

The oak tree, for me, needs to be a bit lower in the frame... but mostly, it's the horizon issues that bother me.

I like the number 3 image... the colors in the backdrop are nice... and it's a favorite location of mine.

The pans are just pans and any-track USA. Not that they're bad... but I guess they just don't evoke a comment either way.

I'd spend some time working that twilight shot. That's worth mining a bit... nice looking.

Not that these are "better," but to demonstrate my thinking...

I appreciate the comments JT. I seem to not keep my horizons strait sometimes, its something I need to work on I know. I try to keep it mind.

I had not been in front of the fence before at VIR, it was my first time for that there. I wanted to get more of an overall oak tree shot but I was limited by my equipment there- I need a wider lens.

I probably have shots that might work better, let me see what I have.

I appreciate it JT, your comments are always helpful.
