A lovely set. I especially like the sweep of grasses in the first shot.

The first is also my favorite. It's a very dynamic winter scene.

#2 is beautiful, but I would be tempted to clone away that little dark 3-pronged thing just above and to the right of center.

Thank you.
The weather was not what I expected but it did offer some good opportunities.

Interesting, for whatever reason I felt compelled to frame the picture as to make it clearly defined (and easy to clone for that matter) as I felt somehow attracted by it not really fitting in the scene.

The three-pronged thing sort of suggests a child hamming it up for the camera, waving his arms and saying "Take my picture!""
