Nice images but way oversaturated.

i've been wrestling with Lightroom and the camera regarding saturation, but i do agree with you.

however, with the exception of 2 and 4, they're all good representations of how the scene looked when i shot it. very colourful day!

Nice images but way oversaturated.

I agree there, a few of the shots look a bit over processed, other than that they are pretty good.

Have to agree with the oversaturated comments but good composure. Looked like a good day too.

first thing that i thought, as mentioned, they are way oversaturted, no.3 and 4 are underexposed/exposed for the sky which makes the scenery too dark, good composition on most though.

I am less concerned with the saturation than with too much contrast, losing all the detail in the shadows. Apart from that...and I am trying to ve constructive here;

1 and 7, the subjects are in the middle of the frame which doesnt make the image interesting. (See rule of thirds) 1. has distracting out of focus grass (?) in the way and 7. has very blown highlights also distracting.

6, what is the subject?

2. Nice idea, but abstracts work best with absolutely no clatter, and there are a few distractions there.

3. and 4. decent compositions, they are the best two, but they suffer the loss of detail in the shadows I mentioned. Too much solid black.

5. Maybe slightly further up so that you didnt cut the building off might have worked better. That would have also done without the less interesting bottom 1/4 of the image.

I say all of the above in the best spirit to try give pointers on what to consider when taking photos, not trying to put you down
