A very nice series - overall I think they would have benefitted from the use of a polarizing filter. As-is, I think perhaps some levels/curves adjustments and saturation increases.

I had a polarizer on but it didnt do anything with the direction the light was coming from. That was about all i could get out of it. Ill mess with the levels and curves a little and see what happens.

I like them all but 2 and 3 really stand out for me.

I just got back from a week on the BRP. It's an annual thing I've been doing with friends for about 8 years. We stayed in Meadows of Dan, VA about a mile on the parkway from Mabry Mill. It's said to be the most photograhed scene on the parkway. Two years ago we decided to start from mile marker 0 and make to the last mile marker. We're down to mm200 at Fancy Gap. I'm uploading my photos now and hopefully I'll have a few to share of the mill.

Your photos are nice. The haze was really bad this year and you did well.

My eye is drawn to the right in #1, wondering what might be there & yet we see somewhat empty space on the left. #5 impresses me the most.

It would be very helpful if you would number your images.

I started at about mm 115 and drove though about mm 350. It took about 12 hours to go that far. How long did it take you to drive the whole thing? It was pretty hazy. Wish it was clearer. I almost missed the Mabry Mill. I drove by and thought it was a barn then looked in the rear view mirror and saw it then slammed on the breaks and pulled in the parking lot.

I remember driving the parkway a few years ago & it was mile after mile of dead trees. If memory serves me, they were Oaks.
