Any favorites here?

I like them all; but perhaps I am somehow biased toward paths and fences, as I tend to photograph them a lot myself. Risking to be called "the crop boy" in this forum, I would try some cropping on them, just to see what happens: on the first two, I find the sky too bright; on the last one, there is an uninteresting zone at the lower right corner. I would also play with the curves: even if the photographs do not seem overexposed at all, some darkening may add to the final result. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the comments. I agree about the skies being too bright, and I'm thinking about some additional crop at the bottom of #2. I like to get other opinions before I've worked on an image too much, and get defensive about what I've done. Here's another fence from the road trip...

The mood on this one is completely different, and I like it too.

I really like the way you have color balanced these, especially the first two. There's some kind of pink/peach pastel feeling that I don't see very often in fall photos.
