I am so sorry... last night I posted several landscape shots here thinking I was posting to the "Post Your Best Landscape..." thread. I did not mean to step on your thread.

eranda - As for your shots...

1. I like the composition and the subject is interesting. I really like the shots - so my comments are just for reference to landscape shots in general.
2. The first one has great leading lines.
3. Just be carefull that you do not put the horrizon in the middle all the time. Typically the horizon would be 1/3 of the way from the bottom or for the top (rule of thirds). The horrizon on your first one is in the middle, but it works well on that one (so it just shows rules are made to broken also). If the sky is of more interest, then there should be more sky; if the sky is boring or dull and gray, then do not show much of the sky and show more foreground.
4. Put your camera on a good tripod and close down the apature to get a good depth of field, or for a little diiferent landscape shot open it up to issolate a subject and blur the back ground. Many of the best landscapes are taken in low light, and the tripod will be your best freind. It does make you stand out a little when carrying it around, but if you can get over that feeling that you are sticking out like a sore thumb, then your shots will get much better.
5. Get some Graduated ND filters to tame the bright sky. It saves a lot of time and noise from post processing.
