Love the soft hues... very peaceful. Font works well, inobtrusive, doesn't distract yet easy to read.

Nice landscape. Foreground branches are a little too intrusive, a slightly tighter crop to reduce them would probably be better. Also consider bumping up saturation and constrast.

Nice fall colors, but nothing really to focus on.

HDR? The colors look unnatural and a little flat, especially in the distant tree line around the tower. A light burn and some contrast boost might help here a little. All JMO of course. :D I like how you've incorporated the tree branches (foreground), and water grasses, to create some natural framing. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice composition, I like the framing with the branches. Maybe a little more detail in the far shore would be nice, it just seems a little lacking in contrast and maybe a little washed out. The sky is nice.
