Glad you liked them. Just goes to show that the more pixels yoyu have the less you have to compose within camera. More pixels make you lazy.

Sorry for not addressing the original sepia issue. Honestly now that I look at these, it must have looked too wrong for me to make a determination. Sepia, or any other hue conversion I think does well when that color has an implied place somewhere in the scene. Something with a fair amount of wood would do as well as a brown. A blue might work with snow if the sky seems clear but from what I've tried, it'd not worked well yet.

Pixels: The more little dots used to take a picture, the more little dots you have to play with. So, if you take a picture giving yourself plenty of room to crop out unwanted stuff, the more likely you are to still end up with a fairly good quality shot. I'm guilty of this. Sometimes I can't figure out where best to point the camera to get the maximum out of a scene so a snap something that includes what I might expect to crop out, or just snap something that has elements I feel I can play with later.

BTW on the first one, I'd include the whole clump of trees on the left. That last one does look like someone is about to get in arrears.

Thanks , FrankenPengie , that is what I have noticed ,sepia is not the easiest to work with , thanks for those tips .Thanks too for explaining about the pixals . I have been more into closeup stuff and not doing much with crop. there is so much to learn ,but that is what i like about this site . Here is the color version with a crop & I cloned out some of the wires , I think now i should have left it in color
