I really like this shot: great color contrasts. I wish that it had been cropped so that less sky was showing. Perhaps you could have adjusted where you were standing, to get a different angle, maybe looking down a bit more. There's a lot of potential in this shot, and it might be worth going out to the site again and taking a lot more shots.

using the hue to desaturated looks wierd, on top of that the grass is way overexposed!

Very nice, but seems a little overblown.

Very cool shot. Looks like exit 137 goes to the mountains. 8

the IR look and the lens flare take away from an otherwise well composedlandscape shot

I'm not a fan of IR images but rather like the viewpoint of this one. The signpost adds a nice symbolic element. 8.

Good composition and really shows land and distance well. Not sure about the exposure and colour though - not really to my taste.

I like this - stared at it for quite a while - IR?

I kind of like your processing. Makes it stand out. I would have scored it a little higher if there wasn't that arch of light on and to the left of the sign.

The tones seem a little murky, and there seems to be a sunflare to the left (over part of the sign and clouds.) 4
