Hello
Thanks for comments... I have been away for awhile so now I draw this post from the recent past
My eye is not trained enough yet to look at my shots with objectivity. I still have this amateur excitement. Often later I wonder why I thought it is something special. So now I ask for your opinion and comments what shot above you would suggest as worthy of attention. I would like suggestions on post processing of the first or any other picture that you would find as worthy of attention.
Thanks a lott.

P.S. Pleas forgive my lack of modesty. I want to learn from more experienced photographers.
An excellent set of images to critique. Here's what I saw in order by how they appear on my screen:
1. Teepee too bright. I did not see the usefulness of such brightness, which obscures the remainder of the photo.
2. Much better - now the teepee has interesting subjects projected as shadows on the teepee wall.
3. Did not impress me as well as #2. Sometimes B&W really stands out, and sometimes it falls flat.
4. Interesting - the collection of teepees suggests a village, or a group meeting for an event.
5. This is one where the B&W actually works better (for me anyway) than the color image. Here the soft light in the lower center suggests a ground fog or something, where in the color version it didn't suggest anything except to obscure some detail.
BTW, the star trails would be good if the photos were larger or more detailed, but at this resolution, they're hardly noticeable.
