Love the field of flowers and the sunset. If the latter were my image, I'd straighten the horizon and consider the photo PERFECT!

Number 3 is my favorite. Straighten horizon a bit and maybe a little cropping. To me this one is Texas !!

ALL are great....I really like the snake skin. Good catch there.
Some are saying, straighten the horizon on the sunset...... What they don't see is the water tower is straight!!! The photo is good.
Thanks for sharing...

I particularly like the shot of the field of flowers leading to the brush line -- natural values nicely captured.
The concentration of flowers in the center with a subtle leading line of similar flowers to it, brings the eye there and then back out to other image parts. In mathematics, we might call this arrangement a reciprocal relation.
The mid-tones need lifting.
I took the liberty, in Adobe Camera Raw, of lifting the mid-tones with the Tone Curve. Then I used the Whites slider in the Basic panel to back off overexposure there. I also slightly reduced the overexposure of highlights using the Highlights slider in the Basic panel.
I believe these few, simple adjustments intensify the natural beauty of this fine photograph. See the tweaked image below. This rendition might prompt a poet to say something about the natural realm.

Nice shots. Maybe I'd change up only a few things, by my eye. Going by pictures:
1) Try a higher f stop to get more in focus. It's a shame to miss any part of this flower.
2) Here I'd blur out the bg slightly
4) I find the bg not helping the shot but what if you took the shot with a piece of black paper behind the flower just far enough that you could knock the bg out of focus. That would be stunning.
9) A Butterfly Wonderland! The post work "anotherveiw" has done is welcomed and adds snap. Hats off to this gentleman.

Thank you, I’m gonna try but think the ground runs at a slant. What part of Bama are from? We’re from Mobile originally.
