I nice series giving us a glimpse into your experiences, thank you for sharing.

Well captured, the colors were so vibrant.
 
I really like the first picture.
 
Very nice photos! With which lens? I like the fact that they look realistic and not saturated or dramatic. (apart maybe from the one with the cherries)

Hi,

here are my critical comments. I don't mean to be rude, just critical.

First image with the maize: Nice idea. However, the image is too symmetrical to my taste, while not being perfectly symmetrical. I would have shot this in 3:4 aspect ratio and tried holding the camera at different heights/angles and different focal lengths. Also underexposing when shooting foliage works like magic, try it!

The second image with the cow: Very nice image, but what is that thing on the left lower corner? It ruins the whole shot! Spending a little more time while taking the picture easily makes an OK picture into good picture, and a good picture into a great picture and so on... Maybe cropping or post-processing can save this image, though!

The third image with the bee: The colors are nice, but I don't know, the whole composition just does not work for me. It could work if the image would be cropped to an extremely wide aspect ratio. What do you think?

The fourth image with the cherries: The colors are over-saturated. You clearly did not think much about the composition here, did you? Personally, I don't like the straws and it would have been easy to gently bend them away. On the other hand, a skillful photographer could have used them to lead the eye to the cherries or otherwise make the composition work. Perhaps you tried this? In this kind of images 1:1 aspect ratio often works very well. What do you think?

The fifth image with the pink flowers: Quite nice, but try the 1:1 aspect ratio. :)

The sixth image with the building: Timeless black and white works here, and gives a story of the area where you live. The right part of the wall being very white gives impression of hot sun. I can almost smell the flowers there.

Using full-color image (RAW) and editing the color channels can bring a lot to B/W photography. For example, you can very easily boost the brightness of the flowers, make the rusty window-parts more visible etc. It's really worth trying out, if you have software that can do it (e.g. Lightroom)!

So, overall, continue taking pictures but pay attention to what you are doing. This is a good way to learn and helps you improve your photography. It is usually worth trying to make the image "a little better" when taking the picture. This requires patience.

It is very easy to give critical comments to other people's photos. For example I am blind to the "flaws" other people see in my photos. On the other hand, there is no absolute truth which photo is good and which not. So, don't be depressed about my comments.
 
Hi,

I really enjoyed your pictures, nice to see such pastoral scenes whilst stuck in a busy town in Vietnam. The only image I'm not keen on is the one with the cherries - a good composition but they are not in focus, which is a real shame as my eyes are drawn to their vivid colour. Otherwise a lovely collection.
