Nice series do you have any examples of the areas that you advertise in your flyer ? Would love to see those too

you can really see all of those on my website www.butterflyimaging.com or my facebook page

Nice photos!

The second and fifth photo are well executed in composition, but seem less captivating because of the deep depth of field... A more shallow depth of field, keeping your focus on the tractor (or in the case of the other photo, the nearest branch) would make them seem less bland.

I LOVE the gradient of colours on the leaves in the 6th photo - nicely captured!

Really nice set!

" Liked" your facebook page and loved the motorcycle images. you have a good eye-keep it up.

Thank you all
And rob yes i saw that thank you so much! i appreciate the like!

Leilanee nailed it. I agree #2 and #5 have the best compositions and the gradient colors of the leaves in #6 are gorgeous!

I think there are a few suggestions that could make these even better. The depth of field was already mentioned. Another thing I might try with the tractor shot is a lower perspective. Not that you should only shoot it from a lower perspective or that the one you shot doesn't look good -- it does! But I think it's a cool subject that should be captured from a lot of different angles.

On #6, the background is distracting. If you can get rid of the buildings, but keep the grass and fence, this shot might become the best of the set.

And one other suggestion (just my opinion) - don't be afraid to bump up the saturation just a little with shots like these. Fall photos are all about showcasing great colors, so helping them shine through a bit more might work well.

OK I lied...I have one more!
Depending on what you use for your post processing, try experimenting with different methods for enhancing details. Lightroom's Clarity adjustment can be useful, and using clarity and sharpening with adjustment brushes can make it even more flexible. If you use Photoshop, I highly recommend investing in Topaz Adjust. And also using the high pass filter is a great way to enhance details -- I'd be happy to share the way that I use that if you'd like to try it out.

By the way, please don't take any of what I said as criticism, it's really the opposite. I think you've got a good eye and just want to pass along anything I might know that would help you get the most out of your natural talent.

rmeyer- I appreciate all the helpful hints i will not take it as critism just helpful critism. Thank you so much i will def be trying these suggestions the next time out and how do you use a high pass filter i haven't heard of one of these yet

High pass filter is used in PS. (Probably some other editors as well.)

Here's the way I use it -- others might have different ways that would be helpful or better, but this works well for me. (Note: this is the very last step in my editing process, I do everything else first.) Then, I follow this process:

1. SAVE AS and give it a new filename IF you have several layers that you want to still be able to edit later
2. Flatten the image
3. Make a copy of the new flattened layer
4. On the copy, go to Filters > Other > High Pass and set the radius to somewhere between 2-10 pixels -- this all depends on the size of the image, usually larger images mean larger radius
5. Change the blending mode on the layer - usually I use hard light, but some people prefer soft light or overlay
6. Adjust the layer opacity so the effect isn't too extreme. I usually find somewhere between 20-30% looks best, especially with hard light as the blending mode. I recommend you zoom in when adjusting this so you can see what it's really looking like!

OK, wow, I learned something new today. That's just awesome, and explains a lot. What else you got?

why would u flatten any layers opposed to duping the layer?
