Well, ya got some good keepers there. I don't want to comment on
everything but there are some that struck me as promising right off.
I like Davey Jones' Locker and Bass Harbor Marsh as is. I think Bob's
Secret Acadia Spot won't do as is but that same location with a much
wider angle that puts those foreground stones up close, sharp and in
your face would be a winner.
I very much like The Path Through Spring but wonder if a little yellow
in the color balance might improve it a bit. If not go with what you've
got. Crown of Fog I can't decide on but think the foreground houses are
distracting. Brook Alternate and Trail to Secret Spot are lovely. I
also like Acadian Mist, Fog over Mt. Cadillac and Somes Sound Lupines
(which may be the best of the 3) I like Sand Beach when cropped at 2:1
to get rid of the sand beach or Sand Beach Alternate which does somewhat
the same. :-)
Well, them's my 2 cents.
