Two from an outing today

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

awsome touch-ups. I love the color in both. gotta love those photo outings. Sometimes we find the shot (field), sometimes we make it (merry-go-round). These memories will last forever. BTW. here is what rich looks like eyeing up his field shots.

I love the merrygoround pic, could perhaps use a crop of the top third maybe? (Could that be decisive moment?) The first one is nice but the leading lines aren't very pronounced, making the picture just a tad boring to me.

EDIT: From the third picture that Storm posted, I would like to see from the low perspective some of that tall grass in the foreground.

The pic from the merry-go-round thing is great, sharp focus and detail on the subject and the B&W treatment works a treat and suits the image...

Good stuff...

The merry go round pic is great and I actually prefer Storm's pic of Rich setting the photo up. What are the fields of? It seems an unusual ploughing pattern.
