As part of my Photography Degree my current project has been 'Visual Poetry'. Now, I've found this difficult as I'm a very literal and technical photographer, rather than artistic and experimental.

I decided to setup a camera in my car and shoot landscapes as I drove, very mechanical, no framing etc, no control. Originally this was going to be part of a sequence but these were far more successful and fitting than anything else I did which was just too literal.

Anyway, this is the set, wondering what people thought of them, went for a super soft painting style effect.

Numbering these would've made life easier.
The 3rd is the only one that works in my opinion. The others are too flat. I'd boost those colours a bit and crop as said above. You'd be better off IMO going somewhere interesting with better colours and just panning on a tripod, instead of the driveby.
 
oooooh....LOVE! The 2nd one is my favourite, its stunning...the idea is cool and they are all good but i would have number 2 on my wall...its really moody and expressive. :)
 
Cheers for the feedback.

Had my final crit today, and they were well received by my tutor and course mates, and hopefully a good grade is coming my way!
