Both of your first two are beautiful. The second, to me, is just that much more evocative and compelling.

Nicely seen and captured.

Thanks Ken insane amount of waiting and nearly killed myself climbing up and down the mountain trying to get the clouds and trees in just the right space.  T

These are all spectacular. If I had to choose one, I'd pick carrizo oak skeleton.

Eric why do you choose that one.  Just wondering why you respond more to that one.  Tim

The tree in the upper left balances the hillside of blossoms nicely but keeps my attention on the flowers.

The second image is similar, but with the tree being a bit larger and the nice cloud, I guess I felt the combination of tree and cloud were drawing a bit too much attention away from the flowery hillside.

Just a gut feeling, not suggesting that the first is "better" in any absolute sense. These are all lovely, and you always have a way of bringing out the beauty of the seasons.

Thanks Eric for the response.  Its always interesting to see who and what they respond to.  Whats even more amazing is to see which prints sell the fastest at an exhibit.  These will be soon at an exhibit in the next coming month.  thanks again Tim

I'll be curious about their relative popularity among the buying public. If a few of them sell, would you mind letting us know which was the most popular?
Purchasers may have different tastes from photographers.

I usually can tell you what images sell just by looking at them and I am usually right on the money with them.  But your right most images are the same whether its a photographer or the public.  But when put on display, Its usually pretty easy to know what sells.  But I've made my living selling my photographs for the last 33 years. 

In the beginning I did gallery shows and made myself do 3-4 outside shows a year just to see what the public liked.  I hated every show but knowledge was learned and its the price you have to pay.  Tim
