First post, so bear with me. Decided to take a trip to New England last fall, hoping to get color. Turned out it was about perfect except a fair bit of fog and overcast several days. Shot years ago with a Canon EOS 300D. Had been stored and just got it back. Still works! But wanted to get something better so bought a Canon T6. Have a fair amount of older EF lenses, so wanted to stay with Canon. Took along an old Tamron 100-300 that I've had, but shot mostly with the kit 18-55. I tend to shoot AV almost all the time, and generally ISO 100 unless it's really bad on light. -1/3 to -2/3 compensation just because of personal preference.
First trip with the camera, and didn't realize until relatively recently (and long after the trip) I would have served myself better to be shooting RAW....so these all started life as jpeg's. Also all shot handheld.
These are all straight off the memory card with no post except the broad high one from Cadillac Mt (?) with the fog. Just tried my hand at sharpening the contrast in the cloud layers.
At first, was a bit disappointed in some of the results, but have chalked some of it up to feeling out a new camera.
Would welcome any criticism, comments and suggestions on anything and everything, I'm very new to PP, so any suggestions on that would be especially appreciated.
Thanks in advance for looking...

Nice.
(I was up on Cadillac Mountain one time and the visibility seemed about 50 feet.)

Nice job! I have the T6 as well. The first one would have benefitted from a little more sky at the top but the composition is really nice on the other three. You might consider using a little dodging on the shadows over the pond to bring it out more. I love the colors in the 4th one.

Nice pics, but I think you need to increase the color temperature on those overcast days.
