I know you didn't ask for feedback so feel free to ignore this!
They both seem to have some kind of ugly colour gradient, the hard transition is very obvious at the bottom of the sky? Use of gradients are fine, but the golden rule is that the effect shouldn't be detectable (unless you really look carefully and realize things like the dynamic range would have been too high).
IMO, Try backing off on the processing and concentrate on getting the photo right in camera, concentrating on things like composition and lighting. Landscape photography is just about the hardest category there is, it is extremely demanding on strong compositional techniques, lighting conditions, subject, location choice, time of day, day of the year, weather and luck. You really have to work at the aesthetics.

One from a foggy morning last weekend, there was a horizon in there somewhere.

Love this, great abstract landscape shot.
Thanks DP, I know i didn't ask, but feedback / C&C is always welcomed, good or bad
In all honesty they have been LRd to death and back because of the bad conditions (and original capture) - not an excuse, I shouldn't have taken, let alone kept, processed and posted them
They do (and, again, this is no excuse) look a lot worse exported (or hosted on Flickr ?) than they do in LR, although I fully accept your comments and can see exactly what you are saying, even in LR
I know i have an awful lot to learn both with the camera, photography in general and LR so thanks for the honest feedback, it all helps and is much appreciated - cheers

From an aesthetic perspective I think they both work rather well. I have to confess I am viewing them on my phone at the moment though, so it will be interesting to view them later on the PC.
^I like the scene and the sky, though I agree that the amber/tobacco colour might be ever so slightly OTT. I certainly think that they were worth taking though.
Testing out the 28mm f2.

It is definitely much nicer now IMO
Very nice! Is it me... my eyes.. or getting old.. but the far left seems very blurred? and the right side of the center
I can't hope to compete with folks on here, but I like how this came out given it's my first time playing with an ND Filter.

It's just a cheap Fotga adjustable one, hence why I went for B&W. It wasn't easy, the bridge I was on was quite bouncy, and there were lots of kids jumping up and down on it!

Its about 7 hand held shots stitched together. I was obviously steadier with some shots rather than others
Next time I go I'll have to take a tripodThank you very much, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. It will probably end up on a wall at home.
Another one from me, taken this weekend on a walkabout round Vancouver. 5 shot panorama from Stanley Park seawall look over to Coal Harbour.
