Being in the "high risk" of coronavirus we stay home a lot but we look for the opportunity to get into the woods. Here in TN we have a lot of state park with wonderful trails so we look for different ones each week. I use these hikes to utilize my hobby. TN parks are beautiful and the ones we choose are the ones that most people don't use. The 1st and 3rd pictures are from the Great Stone Door trail and the 2nd and 4th are from the Hidden Passage trail.

Great shots! I really am a fan of vertical landscape shots, mostly because it takes more creativity to "pre-visualize" from my experience.

I have a couple questions about your post processing:
Did you add the "dark" edges, or is this a result of perhaps a circular polarizer?
Are you able to open the shadows a little more in the first and final shots? I think the first could benefit from opening up shadows along the left edge, near where the dead tree meets the cliff. The last shot could benefit in the upper right corner and under the rock face.

I really hope I dont come across as being critical, that is certainly not my intention. My eyes noticed how dark those areas are, and I dont know how much you did in post.

Thanks for sharing! I hope to get out this weekend (Mid-Hudson Valley of NY) to get some shots. Been cooped up too long, these are inspiring.
