I don't think we've met. Welcome to the forums. I've been away, busy.

I like the third one the best. The first couple seem to have a bit of a washed out sky. That can happen when the sun is at a certain angle, and can overfill the sensor cells with light information. The third one seems much better exposed, with some real vibrant colour in the sky, but the trees seem a little over-saturated in the green end of the scale. Nice composition, dramatic sky, love that third one.

I agree with Winjeel, 3 looks pretty much spot on with beautiful colours and lighting. The others look to be around 1-2 stops over exposed. It may be my eyes playing up but to me there seems to be a lens vignette starting in the top left corner of all the shots apart from the last one.

I would have to agree with what have been said so far. The vignetting in actually on all the four corners in the pictures except the last. I would also crop the third one slightly to reduce the white shine of the sun on the left, but it may change the framing of the picture. I don't know if your camera can do bracketing next time try to use this feature which will allow you to shoot over, under & balanced exposure of the same framing, then you can stack them all which will actually take the best of each picture and that will let you have a balanced outcome for darker and brighter areas. Otherwise you can use ND filters.

More information is available on this Board forums, do not know exactly where maybe others can help. Overall well done, I am no better still get these kind of shots, but improving.

I assume the first three are hdr images? I would say they all need a bit more contrast. HDR is an iffy issue- it's easy to overdo it. (It is hdr??? Or did you just up the saturation?) In your case I would tone the over-saturation slightly down. Alos be careful with outblown highlights. The vignetting is easy to resolve. Like them though.

Hi Radr

I think you have a good eye for scenery composition...nice left to right balance. Watch the horizon lines..I sense that some of these are tilted. 

Others have covered the lighting issues.

Keep shooting.
