I think they are top notch. Really like them all. Love the wide angle.

Nice shots.
I like the ones with your other half in them best - she adds a human scale to the landscape.

They're very nice. Love the wide-angle (must get one for myself). However i cant help feel that they're distinctly lacking a polarising filter. For £30 (~) you could improve your shots tenfold. With that lens i presume you're going to be doing a lot of landscapes and such, it would be well worth your while.
I had a quick play in PS, but obviously a CPL will do this without the need for over-processing. Hope you dont mind.

Scam, that shot looks over-saturated, I prefer the oroginal - far more natural.
By the way, shot 1 is the best

CPL's go dodgy on wide angle lenses due to the size of them. You get more effect in the middle than the edges leading to multi-toned sky.
A ND Grad could work, though.
Incidentally... a week ago me and the missus were standing beside the same lake, taking pictures
Beautiful area, sad to be home 
Hmn a bit more saturated, but nothing more than a CPL or an ND Grad would have given imo. All i did was give it a curves adjustment layer and drew a gradient mask for it (think a PS-style ND Grad) - then on that drew an 's' shape with the bottom fairly low to deepen the sky. Nothing else!Spie said:
I'm not sure. Maybe both, if possible? You could use the CPL to cut the reflections from the water, then the ND Grad to deepen the sky.xolotl said:
Anyway, they are nice shots, i'm just trying to improve (i think it's called being picky
)

All very nice shots I am very fond of the first two. I can't wait till I can afford my wide angle lens after seeing these!
Also adding a person in the photo's gives a nice focal point as well in my opinion.

Nice pics!
Need to get out and get some myself. Not been to Ullswater with the camera yet - looks good.
Where else did you get to?
I personally like coniston and tarn hows, some wonderful photo oportunities there - and only 15-20 minutes from my flat too!
No 3's my favourite too!

Nice shots, No.1 is my favourite.
The only problem I have with them is that the clouds are overexposed and the sky lacks any sort of saturation/detail. As has been said before, an ND Grad filter would have improved these immensely.
Everything else is spot on though, good effort.
