  What do you like?

  Wow, beautiful landscape. This is a great place for HDR photos.

  What would you improve?

  I agree with @kanonkop, the bottom 2/3rds of the image (well, everything but the sky) looks a little washed out. But I think it could potentially be a really simple fix - just try (slightly) upping the black in your exposure settings. That might help in pulling out a bit of the texture and depth (and adding a bit of contrast) through out the shadows in the forest and on the sides of the mountains. Great landscape.

    kanonkop@PeterGalleghan as a hint, don't think that once you've done the HDR process, your post process work is finished. I always have to finish of the PP work in lightroom, to sort out the typical problems of HDR

  What do you like?

  The clouds look dynamic but the calm water and the mountains give it a subtle look hence balancing your composition. This photograph actually makes me want to visit this place

  What would you improve?

  The colors look a bit dull

  What do you like?

  This is a very nice HDR photo.

  What would you improve?

  Although the photo is very nice, I believe it needs more color. I would suggest increasing the saturation and then darken the shadows a bit. This will add more color and then by darkening the shadows will emphasize that color better. MAny times this will make the photo really Pop!!

  What do you like?

  The strong image of the clouds and the mountain V are really special!

  What would you improve?

  Horizon seems a bit tilted, in my mind, However, I could be incorrect, as my eyes are not always the best

  What do you like?

  great landscape and stunning view. This shot also makes a good HDR subject

  What would you improve?

  i think there is room for a bit of improvement on the HDR editing. the lighting and contrast on the sky seems mis matched to the land, almost like it was copied from another picture. the land looks a little washed out of colours and is a bit more exposed than the sky (on average), so i would adjust the lighting (in photomatix) such that the light distribution throughout the pic is a bit more realistic. and then also the contrast on the land can be pushed up quite a bit as well.
