Preston, this feels like a random snapshot with no purpose. Compositionally speaking, I would remove the human from the edge of the photo, or, if it was your intention, I would find a gap in the leaves that makes her stand out.
Try to shift the subject matter to one of the "third" corners of the frame.
I am confused as to what the focus/intent of this image. I might try to croup out any diagonal trees/branches in the left side to go with a more vertical feel to the forest.
I like this image. It shows the contrast between the green grass and the fall colors turning yellow. Since the grass is more of the focal point it makes sense that you included 2/3 in the bottom of the frame.
I like the color and detail in the aspen tree. the red color is quite unique. I would shift the tree into the left third to bring in some of the red leaves in the background to balance the red in the aspen bark.
If you are trying to highlight the focal point by using a narrow depth of field, it would be better to shoot across metal gate pieces rather than this which is more perpendicular to the plane of focus.
Not sure how you are using a narrow depth of field in this image.
I like this image much more. It effectively highlights the detail of the chain by using a narrow depth of field. Some cropping (with zoom) or in photoshop would be effective to remove some of the perimeter elements that don't bring anything to the main focus on the chain.
Nice use of a narrow depth of field. Be aware of background distracting elements like the houses.
???. There is a narrow depth of field that focuses on the dirt/rocks in the middle of the image, but I am confused by what you are trying to convey here.
