Do you notice something in the first picture that only photographers would see and explain?
With the severe directional light coming from the flashlight combined with a huge aura of light in the surrounding vegetation, and a very distinct bright area at the bottom, looks like this might've been… Wait for it… Photo shopped?

I love old trucks and barns, and this is one I wish I would've found! Nicely done.

I really like everything about this image-composition, subject, lighting, colors, catching the bird in the middle of breakfast, and other elements are combined to make a compelling image. However, if I may make one comment, it appears to me to be ever so slightly under exposed, and I think the detail could be enhanced with just a touchup. As always, this is IMHO and I still love the image as you took it.

Thanks for taking the time to share your techniques. There are many ways to skin a cat, and apparently also to crop a cow!

No one lives here anymore… Or do they? 
I made the effort to intentionally under-expose this daylight capture just a little bit to try and give it a darker, more "Addams family" feel. Comments and suggestions welcomed!

It's awesome to find those hiding (in past history).
The drivers might not make his grandkids, to believe
grandpa's stories of the "glory days" of bumping fenders,
and the roll overs, that he encountered, but the sleeping
machines might help grandpa's story, just a bit.
Great photo find.

Great sentiment - thanks!

Most interesting. I still use Topaz Studio 2 for much of my editing, and I still love it irrespective of the fact (or perhaps in spite of it) that it doesn't feature AI. I do, however, have Sharpen AI and Denoise AI as filters. What filters in TP2 did you use?

Raccoons - cute but nasty creatures. This, however, is a wonderful capture of a "peekaboo" kind of image.

Your capture of the critters is just beautiful, but I also really like the way you have presented the water. It brings the viewer right into the picture so most pleasing indeed.

I really like the depth that you have captured in this image. The eye moves from foreground to middle ground to background, easily and pleasantly. Well done.

Lovely captures of some beautiful, tranquil scenes. Very colorful and enjoyable.

Nice capture! Little or no snow in the Flathead Valley?
This image was taken a couple of months ago. We did have a late start to winter here in the Valley, but a couple of weeks ago we had -40 and a big snow dump. Love that Montana weather!
