If not, please give me some further location comments.

I really like the first one - immediately brought to mind Harry
Callahan's 1967 calendar and the photo for October, which depicts an
unbroken sea of dried leaves. You got the spring version. I also really
like the moody lighting and the very deep green. Not in your post but
seen on flickr -
So, the quote could be stated as The eye of the viewer suit/flatter the eye
