The light used are awful ;( Clear sky light ruin all that pictures.

Otherwise, I found some good pictures like 6, 11 and 13.

I don't like shadows coming from bottom and pictures with partial subjects.

Also you can try some pictures from ground level (next time, if you want...)

I made an attempt to PP this picture. I use PS CS5 and I work ~10 minutes. I put some sky, I desaturate down-side ground (that increase color effect in other parts) and some sharpening and auto-levels.

I'm not a genius so you can better. But, otherwise, the original picture have a lot of problems that can't be fixed only with work separate on (minimum) three planes.

Anyway, a lesson learned recently said that any element in picture major affects other elements of the picture. For this - lack of clouds in the sky (for example) destroy the entire picture.

Use "special programs" of your camera, especially in ~speacial~ conditions...

If is snow - use "snow program", if you shoot landscapes use specific program. In some cases that's helps because camera "know" to make some calibrations that you cannot access (ex: intensify some colors,  make optimal sharpening according with subject, etc).

thank you so much!

now I have to run (lots of things to do in these last weeks), so only shortly: the programmer of the camera moved during travel from "P" to "S" and thus all pictures are overexposed. Unfortunately it's not very likely I have the occasion to go there again - lots of places in Romania are difficult to reach without a car ... so I want to save what is possible :) 

thank you for 6, I will post is for critique :) 11 and 13 I am surprised, I didn't like the people there ...
