Thank you :-) I'll work on them a bit more in between shoots then upload again.

I like the simplicity of the first one... Maybe a slightly longer exposure needed though?

Never shot landscapes/scenery before, hope I've done these scenes justice, but I figured people on here would be more qualified to tell me.. Be gentle. Just looking for advice on what to do next time, and any editing tips anyone has. Sometimes I get so absorbed in tweaking one particular thing...

I've noticed a big increase in the number of prints I've sold over the last few months. I upload watermarked, low res images to Facebook for friends and family of the people in them to see, and then they choose which they want printing. The odd person will try copy the images & print them, but...
