New @ Landscapes

I usually shoot portraits and sports, but I'd like to broaden my horizons. ;)

Here are a couple of shots I took over the July 4th weekend. Any and all C&C is welcome.

Thanks!

I like number one but needs a slight brightening in the shadows and maybe apply some USM for the sharpness.

I like #1 for the foreground post and for the framing of the farm within the two barbed wires. At the same time though I also feel that the farm is a little bit insignificant in the picture. Have you thought about doing a portrait crop to include the post and then just left of the farm so that the farm gets more impact?

I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the idea.

I really like the first one. The composition works well with the fence post in the foreground. The sky looks blown on the left side of the second, and I think I prefer your shooting position in relation to the fence on the first shot. I hope you'll post more landscape shots because you seem to have an eye for them.
