Nice set. What software are you using for post processing? Some type of photo pop might intensify the colors. You have a good eye, keep shooting!

Nothing. I use a program to turn them black and white. Other than that what you see is how it looked when I took it. Thank you. I love taking pictures.

Very pretty pictures! I think I would get rid of the date-time stamp.

Maria,
I agree with an earlier comment - get rid of the date stamp, as all it does is distract the viewer. Give some thought to post processing software. Google has a program called Picasa wihich is free. Although it is limited in what it can do, it is a great starting point. Once you've got the hang of it, there are many other programs out there. The most popular is Adobe Lightroom 5 and Photoshop. I use Lightroom and Photoshop Elements II. There are free youtube tutorials on line. I also use Topaz adjustments which can do amazing things.

I took the liberty of running one of your images through a quick session and a maked difference can be seen. Also, if your camera has the ability of shoot in RAW, do make the switch from jpeg. RAW files capture so much more data that can be manuinpulated. Hope you like the shot I edited.

In any event, you do have an eye for this so do keep shooting and so long as you shot what makes you happy, the heck with everyone else.

P.S. My first wife was from Oklahoma and part Cherokee.

I will go download Picasa. I am a temp and my job is not guaranteed to go perm so I cannot afford anything right now. Thank you for your help.

Maria,
Picasa is not a tough program to learn. Also, if you have any questions, you can post them and you will find that most folks on UUH will help if they know the answers or at least suggest where you might find an answer. Remember the only dumb question is the one that is not asked. Good luck with the job situation and keep shooting - you're in a great location for scenic shots.
