Still fairly new to landscape photography so would appreciate any CC.

Padley Gorge HDR. I don't normally do HDR but had a go with this one and was quite pleased with the outcome.

Thanks for looking and I look forward to your comments.
 
Absolutely love the first and last ones, they're superb. I like the compositions on the others but the colours seem a little unnatural, I can't tell if it's that or the shadows have been lifted too far on a couple of them perhaps?
 
While it's far from the worst editing I've seen I reckon it's best to learn the photography first before attempting to master the processing too. You've just gone a bit harsh at it and there are some unnatural colours, heavy vignettes and odd contrasts. I reckon number two might be the best here and would better suit a black and white conversion, probably with a slight crop off the bottom. I realise that's contradictory as editing is involved, but go easy at it
 
Bloody hell, how many times do you have to see pictures of Stanage Edge


I need to get up there!

Can't see the last two
 
1st and last for me - the backgrounds in the others seem a little soft, not sure if PP damage or other?

As a pedant, you can just say "Stanage", as this comes from "Stone Edge", so "Stanage Edge" is like "PIN number"... At least you didn't call it "The Peaks" ;)
 
Like no1 the large rocks create a immediate focal interest which leads the eye straight in tom the scene,the cluster of trees help to keep interest in the middleground.
Really interesting scene.
GEORGE.
