Rural 1
Nice enough Image, I don't mind the harsh light, not keen on the police notice on the gate, perhaps it could have been straightened, or shot from the other side. People walking are too close to the top of the gate.
Rural 2
Do not find much to be interesting. The tree banches encroach too much onto the barn, the light as you know is too harsh. The exposure of the foreground hay is good, but the tin barn does not do anything for me.
Bright
Whatever it is, it is bright. Nice curve going on.
Elegant
Well caught, foreground a bit overexposed but could be cropped out. Good focus and detail. Nice colours and DOF.
Derelict
Too much foreground, could have a better image if you got close and the tanker was more of an angle.
