Foggy-Mountain-Road

Very dreamy feel to things. I love seeing mountains like this. It makes me long to be there, as I'm also very fond of the cool mist of the mountains; it brings back a lot of memories to me, and the fog makes the environment even more alien and calming. The way the fog suppresses sound and drifts here and there, obscuring and showing the landscape really make these sorts of moments more magnificent. You've captured this very well, with the trail vanishing over the ridge somewhat. This would only be strengthened if you couldn't see the road on the right cutting across the peak.

Ha, this one gave me a chuckle. It's like the cows are proceeding up the road in an orderly fashion, as governed by traffic laws. The person guiding them is largely obscured, strengthening this effect.

It's got quite the nice nostalgic feel to things, due to the vignette and either the interesting lighting of the scene or the toning you've applied. Wherever it came from, it's nice to look at. The balance of the photo, both vertically and horizontally, is very nice. I love the left side as a reflection of the right, but more obscured, more mysterious.

I love the cookie cutter look to this, and I love it even more knowing what's behind you. Ugly houses swarming a beautiful coastline. If the houses extended up the hill, the effect would be even stronger, like the photos of suburban American sprawl.

Very nice. The eclipsed slope of the coast is especially appreciated.

Very different looking cemetary. The sparseness matches the landscape. You might consider running some quick noise reduction on the sky, though.

I think I may like this one more than your entry as well. It feels more dwarfing. The clouds spreading, the coastline petering out into the distance, getting crushed by that sky. The lighting on the cliffs is very nice too. I remember visiting there, when I was just really getting an interest in photography, and wish I knew what I know now; it's a nice area.

Maybe it's just me but I really feel like I need to take a few steps to the left. Like, upon viewing this, I really feel a nagging to step and see the hill/mountain between the two signs and balance the roads out a bit more. I like how the road feels in contrast to the cloud line though, mirroring each other somewhat, with this slice of country between them.

Stormy Canyon

I agree with Paul about maybe bringing a bit back into the shadows, just to give definition. Loving the ominous look though, especially with the bright and warm canyon rim carrying me through the scene.

This is the dichotomy I sorta talked about in the other shot- showing the two completely different scenes together, compressed and in opposition, works very well. Before and after, now and then.
