Default First attempt at landscape photography

Hello fellow forum members,
This past weekend on the way to San Francisco I took the opportunity to try some landscape photography. Here are a few. Any criticism is appreciated.

Nice work. There certainly are a lot of those to see even going from here to San Diego.

The last turned out really well...very sharp, good details and holds your interest with the v line across the bottom of the frame

Hi thefarky, and welcome, I agree with every one else that last picture is excellent, very simple which keeps your eyes wandering over it. I would love to see it in colour, I like my colour and the sky just looks like it was so blue with the wispy clouds and green hill.
