More top quality images, Pete.
#1 is my favorite. Superb light and shadow, a bit of color at left center that along with leading lines carries the eye into the image, sharpness that looks to have been carefully varied to emphasize what you chose.
#2 Again, masterful light and shadow. You asked about the colors. Strong they are, but not distracting from what you chose to feature. I really admire how you used the two whitish areas (the lady's coat and the light coming through the distant arch) to emphasize them.
#3 is the most subdued. It reminds me of how oil painters use a thin glaze of color to unify their paintings. But you still have a small area of relatively more intense colors (near the right edge, just below center) for added interest. Overall, a very pleasing, soothing image.
An impossible act to follow, but I'll still post another from my archives (taken on 2017/02/25 but just reprocessed this morning) of a succulent in my front yard...
Yes Don, the low level of participation is worrisome. Asking friends, relatives, and acquaintances to join is the right idea. Another thought came to me - editing one's email signature to include a link to the FF site might generate interest and new members.
I really like your three images. The first shows what is known as lost & found edges in painting. (I'm wondering what Small Beer is, though.) Great contrast and lighting on the fly photo. And the sunrise image is magnificent.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
