My first thought was, “Oh, what a gorgeous view!”
That’s a good thing. A viewer’s initial impression says a lot about a photo.
Great choice to crop out most of the sky. Sometimes completely cropping out the sky is good, when there’s nothing in it, but I personally do like seeing some of it. 3rd and 4th shots don’t feel look sharp. 1st one is my favorite because there’s more than just rolling hills to look at. That old falling down barn and the cows in the pasture really make great “foreground” interest. Perhaps zooming in a bit to emphasize just one or the other could make some interesting shots. Including both is great though. Do go back when there’s a bit more color. Golden hour is still going to help keep the fall colors looking golden; with such distance, the haze is going to make even vibrant trees look “bluish blah” in the distance.
