Some of my best shots. Critique please.

[Forty Six and 2]

Here are some of my best shots but i know they're not perfect. I've only been into the hobby for a few months so I could use some honest opinions to get better. All photos edited in CS2 and Lightroom. Thanks in advance !

1)

2)

3) I may have gone over board with color saturation with this one.

4) I can't figure how to get the glare off the shift knob.

5)

6)

The saturation on 3 does not look too bad, but I can see haloing around the cliff and bush on the left side.

They look pretty good. I like the composition of most of them.

Thank you everyone for the compliments. Haloing is a new term for me, can you please explain?

Haloing is when you can see a white looking "halo" around an object, normally where a dark subject meets blue sky. It happens when you use too much contrast, brightning, or any number of adjustments in photoshop (or similar program.) In your case its not that bad. Its just a bit noticable, thats all.

Only complaints:
2 seems a bit too saturated
3 is a bit too grainy

I do like all your shots though. They are simple and have nice moods to them. 5 is my favorite :thumbup:

The coloring in the 2nd one is beautiful.
