They are all lovely Mac.
I have a question about this group. Why do some of the photos seem more "exposed" than others do? Is it the brightness of the day when they were in color?
The reasons vary ... in some images, the ambient light is more or less intense; in others, the components of the scene are more or less contrasty ... the greater the range of light to dark, the more difficult it is to get a "correct" exposure which, itself, is subjective at times. Some scenes will be acceptable/publishable in two or three different exposures.
Then there are images that I play with ... push them to a point where they look somewhat like a photograph, somewhat like a painting ... those are my personal favorites ... in this article, Number 4 is it.
All of my images begin as color and ambient light affects color, modeling (light/shadow relationships) and other factors.
But mostly, I work with an image until I think "it's finished," and that is always subjective to a degree.
I agree with you on #4 but I also really like #6.
