I like the first of these new ones a lot. Clear, simple, effective. Very well done.
I want to like the second a lot. The split toning effect on the subject trees looks wonderful! Unfortunately the background trees distract me, reducing the power of the trees you focus on.
The third one also lacks the clarity that your initial image and the first one in the new set have so well achieved. They set such a high bar it is hard for the others to work with them...
Your persistence in the bad weather is being nicely rewarded!
