I liek teh last one Jeff it is just missing the hobits....

[CatOne]

I really like the last one. Well balanced, pleasing, and the clouds mixed with the rock are very nice.

The first two don't really grab me. Mainly because I'm unsure from looking at them what I'm supposed to be looking at. There's some scenery, and a person with an umbrella in both, who is too small to really be the subject, but is distracting nonetheless.

Try and tell a story with the photo.

same shot with touch upThis one (the one with the yellow umbrella) looks over processed. It looks like the shadow/highlight tool with too much of a push on the shadows.

Phil thanks I think you make a good point .the first 2, I wanted that pop and I think maybe I went from pop to boom.

Heyya Jeff!
I see you're getting your feet dirty with PS, dontcha?;-)
It's definitely an improvement over what it used to be.
Now the critique part:-)
#1 (Bridge)
As others pointed out, it's too crowded.That trunk gets way more attention that it possibly needs.

#2 (Meadows in the rain)
Looks way overprocessed. Composition-wise: nice idea with a bright yellow-red person, but too much "dead space" upfront. I'd trim the bottom part and cut it from the left by the tall tree, to offsetthe lone tree from the center.

#3 Glade:thumb
Very nice! I would use a bit more agressive curves (don't blow the highlightd on the bottom), maybe 25% faded multiply to bump the contrast..
#4 Foggy pass:clap
Great compo, nice colors! Again, I would use just a bit more curves to bring more drama. And I agree, it needs some hobbits and dwarves:-)

Keep doing this!

Cheers!:1drink
