Would be better with a foreground object for scale and if the horizon didn't split the frame in half. I would have raised the horizon to eliminate more of the sky.

I would suggest moving the horizon down (or up just a bit) and maybe converting this to a B&W and bumping up the contrast. I looks a bit flat the way it is now.

I'm sorry, but this shot isn't very good. You could probably enhance it by bumping the contrast/saturation a bit, but probably more dramatically by adding something of interest in your photo. Right now it lacks depth and a focal point. A few shadows here and there could make it more interesting, but why not put a model in somewhere? You could even pose yourself.

I dont think that puttng the horizon in the middle of the frame helps your composition. If the carpet is the focus of the photo then it should take up most of the frame and the sky one third or less. The colour and tones are also quite flat, some more post-processing is required.

One of the very few landscapes in this challenge which does have a sense of desolation about it.

Very low contrast, which caused the image to appear a bit muddy.

Very nice, wish you could have brought out the yellow and orange a bit more ... the flowers vanish into the background.
