Need some C&C on these

[Digital Latte]

We can't decide if we like these or not

Would love to see what you think

Love them? why

Hate them? why

Thanks for the support

I too like the second one best. It has "The Nightmare before Prom" look to it. The first one looks too light and the fourth one looks too dark. The third one would be my second favorite. It looks almost angelic (spelling) due to the sidelight and the yellow glow.

These are unique...honestly I don't care for the 1st one because it look unnatural to me. It looks like the girl is from one photo and the tractor is from another and they are pasted together. I like the 3rd one the best. Looks more natural due to lighting and it appears she is reacting to something...it works.

I tend to agree with the comments, the colors look odd and washed out in most of them. I don't really like it.

BUT... They look different and interesting. Not everyone has the same taste. Somebody else may see them and say they're totally cool. So don't be discouraged by my comments.

BTW - I like the lighting on the third on the best, that one is pretty nice.

I had no doubt of that. I do feel bad about criticizing others work though, especially when it's something of an artistic nature, so I tend to remind folks it's only my opinion. You're a pro, so you know this already, but there are no "right answers" in photography. What some people like, others don't enjoy at all. Even blurry images have a following, those "Lens Baby" lenses have "blurry" as one of the main selling points! (Though part of the image is in focus if you do it as they intend you to.)

I was recently viewing a photography magazine and saw a photo they ran full page of a snow scene. It was a bit on the dark and grey side, and to be honest my first thought when I saw it was "If I'd have taken that, I wouldn't have been happy with it..." But there it was, full page, featured photographer... Shows what I know I guess.

So I always try and give the benefit of the doubt, and realize that there are lots of ways to make images.
