Went for a walk today:

Not sure if this one really works. It's a view down into the vally but I'm not sure it conveys the perspective?

C&C appreciated

Some good work here. #2 is a cracker. Great colours, nice framing - nature at her best. THe 3rd one is just a touch lest good. The last shot doesn't work for me - don't get the sense of perspective you wanted.

Was it a windy day when you went up there? I like the composition of 2 and 3. The rocks in #3 look like fingers of a giant covered by the mountains.

number 2 is a great shot, and my favourite

#2 is fantastic, love the colours in the sky (CPL used?) & shadows playing over the ground.
#1 is a bit too contrasty IMO. If the shadow area was a bit lighter, and that front rock a bit less distracting i think it'd also be great.

Thanks for the comments.

#2 is my favourite too, and definately the best shot of the mountains I've got.

CPL was used is all.

Both #2 and #3 have the sky and land levels adjusted separately, the others just have levels adjusted at once for the whole image.

Looks like a beautiful walk, I'd love to get back up there...

That second shot is superb light, stunning play of light and shadow, well captured, very nicely exposed, and nicely framed... This one's an absolute pearler! :)

Also like the way you've used the foreground in the third shot to give dimension and also provides the viewer with a path through to the background subject of the image, excellent stuff...

The last one has great foreground, just needs something for the viewer to go to, seems to need something in the background to finish on...

I keep coming back to that second shot, sublime light...
