Missed these when you posted them, Alf; they are fantastic shots, you had the benefit of the scenery and the weather! (Although, as I am always telling myself, you don't find yourself in such places by accident).

The last pic is a textbook picture of a glacial hanging valley- what in Wales would be called a cwm (I think the english term is "corrie") .

As for what is wrong with them - that first one should be on my wall!

The first and the third are great shots. I wish I had the original of the first to play with. I don't think you could better the content if you'd deliberately set out to take only that shot on the day.

Nice work

I think I need a new monitor as the shots definetely need more work when as I can see when veiwing the at work.
Did you make global changes are did you make selections because they look global to me and are too harsh in the forground and on the island and the right hand side of the panorama

Those are niiice :) I really like them

For the second one, as you are photographing towards the sun (bright background, dark foreground), you could add a neutral density gradient filter, that gives better contrast/ lightness for the foreground and makes the background deeper.

Google "neutral density gradient filter"

Great shots i love the first one but as said the whites are blown in the second shot.

Solvista slightly over saturated but look good.

This of course is just my opinion .

Thanks for the comments and I think there is more wrong with the second that blown highlights now but I do need a new monitor for sure

Stunning!! Is that second one Red Tarn?? I love the Lakes..spent most of my childhood there due to Dad working at Sellafield (he still glows in the dark!).

That place would look stunning with all the snow recently. Thanks for sharing, im impressed!
