Wow, that is pretty! You got the tones just right here. It could be taken any time in the last 100+ years. Beautiful.

This works very well as a composition - great soft flowing diagonals, and the essential "good sky" to provide a pleasing top part of the photograph. Sometimes with B&W landscapes one wonders what it looks like in color - not so much with this one. I'm quite pleased with it in B&W.

I really like the high contrast in this. I think landscapes can be tricky to do in B&W but you got it right.

Very nice shot. The foreground & background work very well (sky's a bit grainy). Love the composition and the clear & dreamy quality of the reflection in the lake. I wonder if some curves work on the contrast in the trees might work better?

This is great. No need for detail on the right IMO. There's plenty that's clear to look at and the darker side leads the eye nicely. If it were me, I'd bump the highs slightly to make it jump a little more but you've done a great job, as is. Cheers!

What a nice peaceful landscape. I like that as my eye scans from left to right that it stops when it gets to the darker area on the right helps keep me focused on the center.

This has strong eye appeal. The fact that the image fades from light to dark and naturally flows from left to right makes it very pleasing. And there is nice detail in the trees. Well done.

This is a lovely shot. The reflection of the trees is very nice. I just wonder if it would be possible to get a little bit more detail in the trees on the right.
