Good photos, No2 is my fave!

 

[Loopy]

I do like no.2 but I find the big bit of burnt out sky very distracting.

Some lovely shots there, always great skies in the lakes.

Number three for me. Can imagine myself all alone on the pier, just looking at the view.
Wishful thinking as my kids and other half are having a mad half hour play fighting around me.

nice set of pics - I always find Windermere very uninspiring as far as the Lake District goes but you've managed to capture some good pics there

Some nice scenes and good compositions there. Don't know if it is the camera or intentional processing but they don't look as good as they could.

Thanks Robert could you let me know where I'm going wrong please.I think I do tend to go over the top in processing its not intentional

It's not straight but that looks so much better!

The very first step is to check your monitor calibration. There are plenty of web pages to help you. This one is a good start.
If you look at a lot of picture threads here and agree with the average of comments about too bright, too dark etc. then there is a fair chance your monitor is about right
How much you edit a picture is down to you. Generally speaking if you spend a lot of time editing you can end up making it worse than if you just did a few simple things like correcting the levels, straightening and sharpening. All a matter of personal taste though not right and wrong.
