Default Waiting for new camera = Serious digging

Since I've sold my former Olympus and am waiting for my new camera, I'd like to share some of my first shots with my first reflex (that's 4 months ago). Looking back at this shots my mind tries to figure out how I could have made them different and better, just like everyone do when he looks at his older work, but in the end I loved those shots 'cause of the efforts I've put onto taking them.
Here's how it all began.

I loved landscapes:
Brushed clouds

And mountains:
Semplice HDR, altopiano del Montasio

And ducks:
Swim with me

And sometimes I even loved our endless rain:
Rain on the window

The second and fourth ones are pretty darned good, and I really like your use of DoF in the fourth one. Its always good to look back at your accomplishments, I was doing it earlier

All beautiful, and so varied too. My favorite is the 2nd - those clouds look as if they're being powered up from behind the hill. Fabulous image.

Thank you all!
By your comments it seems like 2nd shot looks better than the others.

your landscapes shots are so vibrant and wonderfully composed..love the details in the second shot..but the last one stands out for me..so simple and effective..eventhough i love the beach there is something about the rhythm of the falling rain that is so calming.. tnx for sharing Gabriel..
