I shot all of these in RAW - so they're edited from the RAW file. I am still very new to RAW, so I hope none of them look really silly.

Sorry haven't been posting lately (as if ya missed me anyway ) - just been doing other things.

3. When I saw these trees I thought of maybe taking a photo for myself to use as a desktop. I haven't tried it yet tho.

#3 & #4 - very nice composition and colours! But regarding Raws - I'm sure you're able to achieve lots better colours/contrast at #1 and #5

Hmm - yeah, you got a point there - lol. I think I just wasn't sure how far to edit them Thanks !

Well are they that bad? Boring? Uninteresting? You guys can be honest... I don't bite!

I like them alot. I feel like 1 & 3 could use a bit of spicing up though.

The first one is great. The reflection is perfect. I think if you darken the upper part it would be impossible to tell which is the reflection lol.
I think #4 would have been perfect if you used a higher F number so you would have the whole scene in focus and a nice star burst. It's extremely hard to get a decent background blur with the Sigma lens even at 20mm that's why I only use it for narrow aperture landscape shots.

I really love the composition in the last 2 pictures, and how the path is leading the eye!
I know nothing about RAW so I can't comment on it...
But I like your pictures

Yeah I kinda wanted the top darker on that one too but I don't know how to edit that type of thing. A filter would just solve that problem.



Thanks - I kinda agree haha!



Aw thanks Marie - that's okay, raw isn't in my brain either

nice

I like the last one especially with the line of trees and the path running next to it with the play of light and shadows.

Looks very beautiful how some sun rays make their way through the leafage
and the path turns suddenly in the very background where the sun is getting stronger.

The reflection in 1 looks very good, too
