Chuck Wagons #2 is great!
As already noted, panning would blur the backgrounds and add a sense of speed.
At these kinds of events, timing is everything...almost. You need to be aware of what's in the background. Waiting just a second or two more would have improved #1 by eliminating the pole coming out of the rider's head.
You're very observant and that leads to some very creative photos. Nice job!
What a creative lighting solution!
Yep, the first three are boring, the next two are great, and the last one needs some post processing. Here's a quick attempt: cropped, lightened, and that bright blue spot eliminated. Hope that you think this is an improvement. Birds are not easy to photograph and you're doing just fine.
You're trying to "sell" the dog, so you need to show his personality. I'd take several of the dog in home-like settings (in the yard playing, laying next to a chair, being held, etc.), then combined them with the portrait into a single photo. I know it's more work, but it should help find more homes.
Outta my way! Coming through!
Was the last one a gravestone?
They are all enjoyable photos and make we yearn for such a trip.
Is it my imagination or is the focus on her nose? If so, I'd try to focus on her eyes. Or does she just need to powder her nose? LOL
What a great service! I'm sure the owners appreciate your efforts. I know I would.
Tilting the cap on the back side of the "head" would show the scale and the mushroom.
Marvelous series! Could you ever take enough photos of such a paradise?
#1 - Very creative way of adding depth and interest to the photo. If that is you holding the flower and the camera, your hand is a lot steadier than mine!
#3 - I'd remove the telephone poles and the wood frame to the right of the small building in post processing.
I do agree with the other comments.
Hope you enjoyed your visit to Maine.
