Hi Cameron,

#1 This is probably close to the peak light we had. I reckon you can improve on the fore-background ratio by slight cropping 15% from bottom and slightly from top to emphasise the sun. This looks slightly underexposed.

#2 May well be the peak light at this stage. The foreground is not strong and looks slightly soft?

#3 Interesting colors with the WB manipulation. I feel however the lower right slab is not adding to the image. I wonder whether you could crop it. PS I have the same image and is at a loss to improve on the crop.

I dunno what I was doing when that red glow was around, probably twiddling my thumbs cause I missed it. You have some nice colour in those first couple cameron but I reckon they could definitely be lifted to another level with some PP love.

I liek the last, probably has the strongest composition and quite a different feel to it. I reckon you need to resize to below 800 px since these all suffer pretty bad from the forum resize.

:agree: They look soft until you click through. I use 775px and sharpen for screen-medium in LR upload directly to flickr and pick the 640px image. Looks sufficiently sharp then.
