These are all good, sharp and well exposed shots Stan. I agree with Gravelrash's comments on the first one, it would be better if the overhanging branches were not in shot, but the rest of the image makes up for it.

The second and third are not quite as eyecatching, but very nice nonetheless. As you might know, I often use my 55-300 to isolate parts of a landscape and I find it great for this type of shot. I do like the leading line in the third one that lets the eye meander towards the distant house.

The 1st is my favourite. You have an interesting subject but it makes it for me with the sun about to show itself from behind those great clouds.

That bit of tree to the top right detracts, but a minor issue. Like one of those annoying people that tries to get in on someone elses picture haha.

The second is a fairly uneventful view but made more interesting by those random clouds, both in the sky and casting shadows on the scenery.

Nice to enjoy a little sunshine in our green and pleasant land. Thanks for sharing
