Nice colours and interesting compositions. Was it a deliberate choice to make them very dark?
Yeah, it was fairly dark as the sun has only just broke through the cloud. I did try to reflect a darker style. I deliberately exposed to the left to preserve sky detail and then boosted in post. Maybe a couple are too dark actually. Thinking also my monitor may be too bright.

Interesting place, but really only last shot makes me want to think about going there and even that has something odd about the way the sky looks (it is sort of dark cyan??!)
The rest without the last one you'd think tell you its a black sand beach. It's got to be lifted heavily to do the place justice.

These are all much better except the first, which is haloing around the hut. Well done with the rework.
Good shout. Thanks so much. Will have a look at redoing that one at some point.

You need to adjust both separately, but don't let that tempt you to have skies darker than foreground which we see here occasionally.

You have a "grad", a circular and brush local adjustment tools. Lots and lots to pick fromYes. I know I can do that with layers in photoshop but recently I've mainly been using lightroom for more basic/quick edits with the ability to do more quickly in batch. If there is an easy way to do the same in lightroom I'd be glad to hear of it.
