There is no pot of gold, indeed, the true treasure is the rainbow itself

Nice that you actually got the third rainbow there too on the inside. I've never seen a rainbow quite so strong, so it does feel a bit overdone, but it's a heck of a job!

Well this one has some serious impact. Honestly, I think that it comes from the unusual blue-green that is so prominent. There's a strong sense of nostalgia that jumps out here.

The composition is fantastic and in general, I'd say that every aspect of this pic is well managed with obvious intent. Excellent!

Very, very effective use of reduced sat. An attractive pic with a strong Euro feel.

This is really cool - mostly because I can't tell what you used for a light...

I like the moonlight that feels like sunlight coming through the leaves and I like the blues with the yellows of the foreground.

I also like the feeling that there are faces, especially the oval on the right and above the middle rock.

Very fun to look at. 8

Unusual, it's like a Triangle of HDR processing with high tonal range and haloing and the rest with regular processing.

Odd choice. Also, the colors seem a bit 'all over the place. I like the soft tan in the sand and the soft green in the water, but the sky kind of detracts from that.

I don't dislike it though

Beautiful. I like how the two flowers in the foreground complement the color of the mountains, although they do feel like they 'missed' a tiny bit.

It looks like you used HDR here (note the characteristic haloing around the edges of the mountains), so I'm a bit curious as to why there is so much detail lost in the shadows, especially with the house.

Nice pic anyhow.

nice shot, with good lighting, could use a bit of work in processing by lightening the woman's face, and possibly the horse's just a hair as well as toning down the sharpening just a bit IMHO. There are a few distracting flecks that distract as well.

lol. reminds me of taking pics of my grandparents a couple years back.

You like it, so it's not definitively bad, but here are some things that they might not like that I saw:

#1 - good lighting in the BG, but it seems unbalanced with overly strong darkness in her clothing. A touch lighter there would probably go a long way. It pulls too hard on the balance of the overall pic, compared to the edges which have nice framing and a positive effect on the balance of the comp.

#2 - Her hair - grandparents don't like messy hair. It's ok in the back, but on the left side of her face... not so good.

#3 - Her eyes - kind of related to the hair. The eye on the left (her right) is totally obscured and the eye on the right looks weird.

#4 - the lighting - too much of her face is in shadow. The hair also creates unusual shadows.

Other than that, the processing looks acceptable. I don't much care for the bokeh on that lens, but that's not something they would notice.
