You live in a pretty area. I like the side lit trees in #3.
Very pretty. I like the muted tones in the first.
I like it, like its IR feel, and wonder about a square crop to eliminate the rather heavy and slightly out of focus branches on the right.
Sometimes it's the view behind you or to the side that is the more compelling, and you proved my point with this photo.

Keep on exploring. My wife used to worry until I bought a garmin Inreach which I check in hourly when I'm out in remote places without cell service
I've heard good things about those devices, and though I do think I need to curtail my wandering nature a bit, I might check into one. Thanks for the reminder.
All very lovely. #2 has an interesting feel to it; it invites me to step into the frame and onto that path.
This brings back memories from when my parents lived in that area and I'd wander around in the desert with my camera.

Thanks for your kind comment. I did not pay attention to the turtle pose. I will in the future.
I guess it's to get the back of their legs tanned.
Smatter away; you seem not to be able to go wrong. I love #2 and was intrigued to see you playing with ICM, which I agree is a really different way of making images. I've had some interesting results by aiming at some key detail, like foliage at the base of a tree, just long enough to get a little sharpness, before moving the camera.
Beautiful shots, and I love the turtle basking with its back legs stuck out like that. My turtle does the same thing. And thank God no birds to ruin the set for everyone.
Excellent. I find most baby animals infinitely more appealing than...oh, never mind.
Gorgeous. How cool that you got to see that.
That's really nice. It looks peaceful and serene. This is a case where I believe the softly captured water works well against the sharp details in the moss and rock.
What a beautiful scene! I miss looking at that kind of snowy mountain spread. I prefer the tighter crop.
