A very fine set, nicely processed. My favorites are the first two. I can't really decide between them.

Good set. I prefer #3, as it takes me deeper into the woods; makes me want to walk along the path.

I like this set a lot but #3 (spooky woods) is my favorite with #2 (stairs) in second place. I especially like the silver look of #3 and the path in #3 and #2.

Well done, good job.

I really like #3 but the processing treatment(open shadows) does not go with the name. I find nothing spooky about it, just beautiful inviting woods.
The first 2 I do not care for.

I too like the composition of the third; the processing not so much. Maybe a slight darkening of the shadows and an increase in contrast could help?

so fine set! I prefer the 1 then the 3, but all of them are well composed and prepared.
Spectacular tones subtleness in 1.
All the best,
Sandro.
