Exactly what my mind said, but I was not successful in cutting it perfectly, so left it that way. Need to work on the original again. Thanks.

Liked the second one, but personally prefer to crop avoiding that industrial stuff totally out of the natural mountain.

Focus is missing, or is it my eyes ?

Let me be the first one to congratulate you on your pics. The pics are superb.

Whats the equipment you used? Can you give names of the places too?

BTW is it going to be just pics as the title suggests? Then you may consider it moving to Photography section.

@Riju
Nice. I see that the hightlights on the top right corner makes your image look unbalanced. If you could have that under control, it would be even better.

@Shaju
What is that glow around the birds? Did you over clarify? Or sharpen or something? Also I feel the red tones are a little over the top.

In the comfort zone.

All the above places don't look like India. Somewhere in west, somewhere in Europe probably? As you said, the pics are really good, some photoshop work would've made you ace photographer.

Its resized, sharpened, increased contrast and used 'burnt sienna' in CS4, nothing else. I find that mild glow in the original too, it got highlighted after editing. Just an experiment, there are few angles of the same, trying something different.

My bet is on US not Europe

Well, it is overdone in my opinion, but like you said, you are experimenting! So it's ok . this is how you develope your processing skills.
