I love the bright vibrant colours in this, that sun burst through the trees works wonderfully as well. Your composition is good and the exposure seems pretty even overall, but for a small blown out sky section but it doesn't distract. There's a few small bits of lens flare but it's very difficult to avoid when shooting at the angle you have so I wouldn't worry about it.

The light in this is wonderful, the fact that it's side light provides some great contrast on the hills. I love the way it picks out the ridges and gives the image depth. I like the punchy colours and although it was shot at f5.6 it still seems pretty sharp throughout :)

A lovely dream-like image. I thought it was Tuscany at first as it looks very similar! I like the use of shallow depth of field in the foreground, it really frames the scene well. The sky needs some attention as there's a noticeable halo along the treeline. Overall it's really nice well done.

This is a beautiful image! the light is fantastic and the composition is lovely. I love the tree leading in from the corner, the colours are vibrant and punchy and the processing perfectly complements the scene. This is a very worthy winner!

I'm hopeless at shots of trees, and even more so in B&W. This is a good example of using B&W to show off texture, It could have maybe done with a boost to the whites, just to bring up the contrast a little and I'd maybe have cropped it either square to frame the trees or 5:4 to lose a little from the right.
