Composition is excellent imo but they all look a very brown, not much of a range of colour in them.
I don't know if that's a particular effect you were looking for?
They also look a bit noisy in places.

I like the compression from the telephoto, along with the composition. Nice job!
They look like they got destroyed by jpeg compression though, and a little flat tonally

thanks for all the comments!. it was taken under harsh sun light and the entire pictures were quite washed out. if it had been sunset, it wld be perfect.

In that case maybe an NDF might help next time...?

I've got to say - I really like your first shot just the way it is...
Sometimes the simple shots - the ones with out so much saturation or major post processing are fantastic.
You've got great lines, composition, subject matter - yep - I'm really liking your first shot.
The other two work for me as well - but # 1 is my favorite.
Thanks for sharing!

Nice ... Minimalist portraits; 2-3 graphic elements; monochromatic print. Reduction is a great tool in art.

These are gorgeous prints ... IMO it's a mistake to underestimate what you have achieved here. My only comment is to print the last one with the same color palette as the first two (mountain tone is what matters most). This gives you a very nice Tryptech. Congratulations.

The first one is stunning. Love the limited range of colors and those two trees -- so sharp compared with the rest of the scene -- just reach out and grab my attention.

The second one, again the narrow range of colors really works. The people walking, especially the fellow with the red shirt, really contrast with the dreamy quality and give a strong point of interest. After studying this one for a while I think there is a bit of a mirage effect on the distant shoreline.

I think the third is the least interesting, but all three are very good! Here's a suggestion: sample the color of the sky to the left of the mountain, then create a new layer and set the mode to "color." Then fill with the sampled color. The change will be almost imperceptible, but will take away the slight hint of tint in the clouds and make it look like a duotone image. Might be a slight improvement depending on whether you like that sort of thing or not.

You guys made me feel like im underestimating these photos. thanks.

thank you rimmer for the suggestion.
