Critique Cornish Newbie

[dtb83]

Hi guys,

I've always been interested in photography, but finally picked up my first camera last year. I'm after some feedback on a few images to try and understand what I need to work on and what (if anything) I might have done well.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

All the following are my personal opinions... Ask n people for opinions and you'll get a minimum of n+1

#1 with #2 sky would be epic
Love #2
#3 you need to be a bit more the other side of the trees
#4 needs some more interest in the sky
#5 may be better with the foreground removed
#6 has appeal but the yellow in the foreground screams for attention

They look very ‘HDR’ to me, I’d try and tone down the processing.

I would most definitely second this. The reason why that is, or perhaps why you resorted to editing them like this is simply the state of interesting light, or mainly absence of it. A simple solution would be shooting these subjects at a different time of day, pay attention to the sun, clouds and you will need not apply this treatment. Give it a go and don't try to rush it. It can take years to build a really dramatic portfolio of one location.
