Nice mood. I looked at the workshops and I'm not sure wether the true "haze" look you posted or the crisper look is nicer but the haze is what you saw, so go with it.

Very sweet; it nicely captures the difference in the personalities that you describe in the note.

Really nice composition. I like the simplicity of the two colours and the balance between the vertical lines and the movement of the women entering that space.

Too bad about the small piece of rubbish on the floor; it is mildly distracing and draws the eye

Beautiful place, beautiful light and a great POV to show this off. A gorgeous piece of ocean tucked into the country.

Nice textures and tones here. I like the vertical wall boards coming up from the main horizontal clutter at the bottom. Devimeauxbe may have it right, she may just be laying there, but not sleeping, it is far from a happy peaceful sleep if she is sleeping but it gives us an interesting expression.

As mentioned by others, you have an excellent POV for this view of a very interesting area. Very little colour rangehere results in an effect similar to a sepia tone or B&W shot. Nice work.

The low light here is very effective, timeless and somewhat mysterious looking. Nice composition with all the layers. Congratulations on your 100th post.

Nice light here, the grey sky matches the birds so well. This is a 'great catch" for you and the bird. Excellent timing.

I missed this one the first day. I love how the vivid colours stand out so well against the white wall. The note is interesting too, I see it is in a way a created moment in that you provided the drink. Photos that mix the traditional and modern are very appealling. Well done.

The light is really lovely and overall this is a pleasing rural scene.

Nicely composed but personally I would crop out the dark shape on the left as I find it draws the eye away from the main elements, the man and his cattle.
