Nice photos. You might try creating a shadow brush and dodge the dark areas a bit.

Yikes, the first time I used LR, I was just about able to figure out how to crop. You are on your way. Some comments:
1) General impression that these all could be lightened up a bit.
2) too many of the cliff shots have the horizon in the center of the image. Some cropping could make these more interesting.
3) try the sky mask to darken or lighten the sky as appropriate.
Keep at it, and take advantage of the many webinars and tutorials that are out there.

A lot is determined by what your intention is for a shot. In the cliff shots the time of day is obviously evening with the sun almost set, so the scene was obviously not bright. However, the dark areas are close to being impenetrable. If you want the shot to reflect the actual darkness of the scene then you have succeeded, but as a landscape shot it would make for easier viewing if the details in the shadows were more accessible.
Just because it was late in the day doesn't mean you have to consign yourself to producing an under-lit image. That's one of the wonderful things about PP. You can nudge the shot in the direction of being more like what it would have been like if it had been taken under more ideal circumstances. The choice is yours.

Good work. I agree about lightening the images, but since all seem to be dark check the brightness of your monitor. If it is set to a bright setting there will be the tendency to bring the exposure down a bit. I try to keep mine set near the middle or a bit dark.

Great great set, you are off and running. Consider that the subject area of your shots is generally the darker areas where the detail is important. Work with the shadow slider a bit and see what it reveals. Then try the dehaze slider to adjust the sky. If this works to your liking then proceed with local adjustments (which require a bit of "learning").

Great start, I agree with Dick, bring up the shadows a bit (20-40) on the slider and reduce the highlights which will make the sky darker and bring out the blue. You are going to be an expert in no time.

This is just my opinion and I am not an expert, jut providing my opinion and how I might process the photos. Not to be taken as expert criticism.
#1. I'd crop some from the top and make it a bit more of a panorama and maybe try for a little ore detail in the sky or clouds.
#2. Well composed nice photo but would again try for a bit more detail in the sky, maybe darken the highlights some or sky replacement.
#3. Similar to #2 maybe lighten the shadows and darken the highlights, but just a little.
#4, 5 and 6. Nice photos. I like the composition of all. I would possible look for a replacement sky with some wispy white clouds. Otherwise very well done.
Again these comments are only one person's opinion and should not be taken as expert criticism. Keep taking photos and posting, you have a very good eye and your post is done well.
