Nice shots. I like #3 the best. #1 seems to have some haloing around the tree, but that might be difficult to fix.
I was just at Bear Mountain on Monday, and I can attest that you captured the beauty of the area well!

Thanks. I introduced that tree halo trying to tame the left sky with Viveza. Thought it was subtle enough to have it pass unnoticed. While I'm usually drawn to depict St. John's church there, I'm glad I tried something different. Shame not to have some framing element on the left side, but I'm otherwise pleased with it.
I think I prefer the 3rd (shed) image, for the contrast and spread of foliage colors (but I question the level of it, for the shed 'tilt'). The red house image competes for the same attention, though. That is, what I find to be preferences of the lot - they're all nice.
