Oh, and I forgot that 'yet another bridges photo' - which does, however, have a lot of sky
I like it -- the tripartite earth, water, sky -- but it lacks the drama of your much-closer cow effort.
I would have cropped it lower (maybe, of course, you can't.) Watch your edges! Cutting a fern, where detail reads like a field, is not the same as a cut through a blossom, because the blossoms read as individual objects.
This one's successful too. Again, I think the challenge is harder with people in it. The foreground emphasis, at the expense of sky, is welcome.
It's fine. A little "what are we looking at?" TBH. I.e., green things aren't Canadian?
I like it. I would crop even tighter, as the edges of the frame (the wire chairs) are distracting me.
I should have given the title 'Farm Boy', who perhaps can be seen in person in the corner

Very cool. The Firth of Forth bridge is of course aces (I really like old bridges), and I love the forced perspective with the bridges seemingly converging. For me, the empty sky balances the frenetic or busy foreground, which I like being quite dark.
Yes! No more chopped flowers.
(Keep in mind all of this is my opinion. Others might prefer chopping away, but ... not sure why they would.)
Last one, which is only to show that 13:4 framing worked for this beauty
It's funny. I like the effort, and obviously the subject. But the crop serves to emphasize the bridge approach at right, which is comparatively boring compared to the drama of the cantilevered sections at left. Back to the right: egad! chopped light. Finally the blue on blue light kinda throws me ... maybe mental friction when one knows its daylight color is as intense and iconic as the Golden Gate's.
Why? I hope it wasn't that you didn't feel up to the task. Never feel intimidated in here. If you do, we have failed you.
