Some of my Landscapes

I appreciate any comments made

Hi Doug and welcome to the Camel. This is a nice series and my comments are:
#1 Seems the primary subject is that beautiful sky. For me I'm not sure the foreground adds anything to the image and I would be tempted to crop up from the bottom to just under the lake on the horizon.
#2 lovely shot. This would also look good as a panoramic cropping down from the top.
#3 great composition. The lighthouse looks tilted a bit to the right, may be my eyes
#4 great scene. I'm not sure you couldn't tweak levels a bit to extend the range of tones. Looks like a fair amount of midtones to me
Nice job, thanks for sharing!

You are right about the lighthouse being tilted because it really is tilted. Money needed to fix is before it falls over is being raised now.

Thanks for all the comments. While I can do traditional darkroom techiques really well. I still need to learn more about using photoshop. The last shot was made just as the sun started to give a hint of rising. It was still pretty dark. I think I may have lighten it a bit to much. I adjusted the levels in it some but the changes got to grow on me before I can really say I like it. There is just so much that can be done adjusting it that I wonder if I am going the right way sometimes. I don't want to adjust it so much that it no longer looks the way I saw it.
I hope to post more in the future.

All of these are nice, but #2 jumps right out at me as killer! Great skyline and color

Best,
Jay
