Comments anyone??

I think I prefer the last one, maybe crop into it some more. The first one the edge of the lantern is cut off. Some off of the left and bottom. Leave the limb on the right in the shot.

There is either not enough visual information or too much to hold my eye.
Why is there a dark area at top of first photo?

Think I prefer #3, but to me it looks like it could be straightened a little.

I really liked this idea (a series of pictures of a lantern during different conditions/seasons). The only thing I'd like is for there to be some sense of a base position/composition so you just see the effects of weather instead of a bunch of photos of the same thing with different compositions. That makes it look like you don't edit your pictures to pick out only the best one(s).

One picture at a time, they don't look sharp or well exposed (except for 2 which is probably the best imo)

Simple but successful photographs and I really like the second one simply because there is a nice impression that the lantern is swinging gently in the conditions. I enjoy the colours here and I have no problem with exposure or sharpness given the idea you are putting across.
