My pictures lack that WOW Factor :(

Really nice ideas and great start.
However, these don't look 'clean' to me.
There seems to be too much raggedy edges look to the details and lots of color noise at 100%.
Are you denoising when you start?

There also is, imo, an ambivalence in the composition.
Where should I be looking, over here or over there?
I believe that the photo should establish, if not a single important center to look at, at least a single direction so my eye light on something or somewhere.

In the picture below, I wonder if I should be looking mostly at the curly road or past it to the city which is quite large in the frame?
And that vague overhead tree shadow is just excess and distracting.

A crop more like this, with the city smaller, would subordinate the city to the twisty road.
Maybe lighten the top edge of teh hill to distinguish it from the sky more easily.
And the light at the lower left edge only raises questions about what is causing it.
