Interesting shots here. I like your processing in most of them, a bit different with that darker sepia type mood. My favorites are #1 and 3. I like that darker look that is causing darker shadows and hiding more detail. That's why I don't care for #2, because it takes on more of a snapshot look.

#4 I think is too off balance, there is no flow with the pier taking up so much of the shot and then that person standing there.

And the last one, I guess those are your shadows in the shot, but that is not a landscape shot... it's a shot of an apartment building, so it really doesn't fit here nor does it match the fine tone and mood of your previous shots.

yeah the exposure is a bit more dramtic on #1 and #3 although I kind of thought #2 flowed and in combination with some of the stances

yeah, #4, originally I had a different crop, then I chopped it down to this, then I wasn't sure if that was wise and it seems like it in some ways it seemed interesting but in some ways felt unbalanced anyway looks like I shoudl go back to the original with that one I think you are right

#5 i kinda though the shadows and the wild, dramatic colors were sort of neat, quite a few people who walked buy a took a pic of it. I still think it is a landscape, it's not really an architectural shot, granted not a natural landscape shot though
