4 Recent Pictures From Hikes

[Oysterhead00]

I belong to a couple photo forums so I apologize if you've seen these elsewhere. Any constructive criticism / recomendations about how to improve on pix like these in the future are greatly appreciated. 2 and 3 are obviously photoshopped and the blue sky in #2 is from another picture...it was a hazy gray-sky day

did you adjust satuation level in post processing?

no.1 i can see what you trying to achieve there, but it just didn't work with elements in the shot, background is a bit messy. also there isn't a point to draw attention to apart from the burning sun at top right corner.

no.2 seems there are 2 different green to me, maybe it was bright sun on top.

no.3 it's pretty cool effect you applied, the best one of 4, IMO

no.4 is overexposed a bit, lost details on the flower, and purple flower on the right didn't help at all, instead it distracts the main object in the frame. you can either throw it out of focus completely or choose a different angle.

sorry if my words are too harsh, there isn't a better way to learn :wink:
