so what do you think about these then?

hi
i dont really do much landscape but did a few that i like c & c welcome thanks for looking

Thanks for sharing these. Where were these pics taken, by the way? I like the scenery. As for C&C, here's what I have to offer: I think all of these pics are way over-saturated (or over HDR'd?), at least for my taste. They don't look natural to my eye. In addition, it also looks like you took them at mid-day and I would generally suggest you try to take landscapes at sunrise and sunset for best light -- perhaps those cliffs would show some nice soft light and more color at those times of day. I like the composition of the one of the river, because it gives the eye a place to go -- i.e., along the creek and toward the building (is that a mill?) at the back. Thanks again and keep posting.

hi thanks for the input these pics were taken in Kashmir NE Pakistan all i have done is added contrast and a bit of color in the sky

the second pic was here in uk

The added on sky doesn't work too well, it makes the pictures look unnatural.

In terms of composition, the second works best. If you used a circular polariser, you may have reduced the reflections from the river, thus removing some of the highlights.

Wow -- Kashmir. I'd sure like to see some more pics from there if you've got any.

The sky is too saturated for my liking but nice lightings.

I am sorry but the bottom pic looks like a scene from the Telitubbies with that blue ski. Do you calibrate your monitor? They are good shots, they just look over processed.

Good work, but the sky is very unatural

Way over-processed, sorry.

Oversaturated, particularly the first and last.

I like the composition: there's something in each of them I like, especially #2.

That said, I agree with the comments others have made about they sky; it may well have needed a little extra, but I think you overdid it. #3 is an exception -- I think it looks fine in that one.

thanks to all for the input i am not good at PP after reading all the comments i had another go what do you this now do they look more natural or am i still crap at this many thanks.

Definitely much better for me.

I agree. Was it an overcast day or something that made you photoshop in a sky?
