I like them all. But to answer your question, Emotionally I like the last. It's pastoral and sort of idyllic. My sort of place. Colors are soothing dispite the dark sky. Creatively, I like the 2nd. It's a strong image with the alternating diagonals with the brightness of the foreground flowers tempered by the dramtic sky in the background. That's what I think. Hope it's what you were after.

I prefer the second one because of its color and lines. I'm going into that
area during the next few days. I hope to be as fortunate as you have been.

The last spins my propeller the most. It has a strong comp with good color harmony throughout and a nice complimentary sky. Nice work!

You were blessed with some nice skies. Nice job. Like the last best.

I like the first and the last the best. I might want to crop a little off of the bottom of the first. The last is my favorite of all.
