Lovely scenes, Jetson. Very nicely composed, all.
If I may....the shots all have a slight blue cast. Easy fix that will recover a lot of the fall color, too.....levels/blue channel/middle slider to the right 10-15 pct or so, to taste. See what you think.

beautiful, love the second one. It may benefit from a very slight contrast bump to the background.

Good series Jetson. I like the comps in all of these and the colors are wonderful. I would like to see the color corrected versions. Great job with these.

Coming along after many previous posts, you must have gotten the color properly tweaked now, cause to my eye at least these look great! #1 is my favorite, the falls is a great foreground object to offset the wonderful trees and the mill in the background.

The only nit I would say is that while I totally agree with the need for some sort of a watermark on shots like this, yours is just a bit too distracting. Something with a background more able to blend in would work better IMHO. I am no expert, but I found a simple Photoshop action on the web for free that allows you to mark things but not be as distracting, and you can size it as you like. Rather than posting a sample shot of mine to show you and distract from your wonderful series, if you're interested you can find a link to my site from my profile and see examples of what I am talking about there.

Very nice set. I love the contrasting colors.

Great detail on # 3-4.

Falls of Hills Creek Waterfall #3 along Highlands Scenic Highway in West Virginia. 3 waterfalls along a 3/4 mile hike in a remote area of West Virginia.

Could you post a link to that action for your watermark action?

Sweet! Another place I need to go. Really like all of these. I love the inclusion of the water in the third shot. But, for some reason, that angle of view makes the building look skewed.

Nicely done, Jetson.

Cheers,
Ed
