This is lovely work. Hope it's not overshadowed in the challenge by images with more superficial pop.

Nice use of tonemapping (or so I'm assuming) - and an idyllic, peaceful setting. Could be a postcard or a painting.

I like the whole scene, but the tilt to the right is hurting it. Even if it looked like that naturally, I'd rotate it so that the horizon is level. Love the post editing and colors.

Rather unnatural effect - yet compelling. Neither a photo; nor a drawing. Something in between. 7.

The processing or light here is very strange - the patches of brightness seem to bear little relevance to the visible sources of light, and one would suspect that they're added in processing. That, and the odd levels of shadow versus highlights make overall, for me, for a very unappealing image - processing running out of control, rather than photography.
