Nice sun rays; quite golden!

Like the pastels and the reflection of the sky in the water. Think I might crop out most of the sky to better emphasize the water here.

Kind of an arrow leading the eye to the horizon ... which is looking a little off-level to me. Still, a pretty scene.

Nice colors and light. Ordinarily I like some detail in the foreground of a landscape but this doesn't add much interest to the scene, so I'd crop it out.

The Lookout

Comment:
Interesting subject but I think I might like a slightly different angle to see more of the land and stonework and not have the horizon intersect the lookout.

Down and Up

Serious tonemapping here, but with all the texture in the stone and bare trees I think it works well. Very 3-dimensional.

There are some interesting bands of light in the sky and on the tree, but overall there is too much sky for my taste in landscapes, and the bottom 3rd of the picture is dark and cluttered-looking. Considering this outside the challenge theme, a tighter crop to get rid of suburbia (might require a little cloning out of the roofline, too) makes for a much nicer image.

Dune

Comment:
Interesting subject and composition, especially with the vertical lines in the sand and dark horizontal ones in the clouds. And some more amorphous shapes in the sky to break up the regularity of the patterns.

Fiery Lakeside Sunset

Nice golden light and composition. Not a "wow" shot but the peacefulness is quietly appealing.

Fall Across the Lake

Good to have stuff to look at in the foreground and background and the reflection of the clouds in the water is nice. Trees look too uniformly red to be realistic.
