Newb Kauai Shots

I just got my first DSLR (6D) after borrowing a friends a couple of times. I don't have any photo processing software yet, so these are all straight off the camera. C&C appreciated. Thanks.

there are too many photos here so it's really difficult to give constructive critique.

keep shooting and learn a bit about the right time of the day for landscape. That's crucial. I'm sure someone will come and say a bit more but as I said it would be much easier for people to give you advises if there were less photos.

Beautiful area! Did you use a polarizer? Certain sections of sky look darker in certain areas for a few of them.

Yes I used a polarizer on most of them. It was my first time using one and it was borrowed from a friend. Leveled it off every time but I noticed what you're talking about too so I guess I wasn't orienting it correctly.

I like the intent of #1, but I can't tell you what's wrong with it. Not sure if that's image shake or what, but the stars and the lights are not as crisp as they could be.

#5 is good, but might be even better if you had panned (or just moved) right a little and cut the bush out of the left foreground.

6, 7, and 8 are awesome. I love the low-lying clouds in 6, and the very dramatic difference in the lighting on #7.

I suspect a faster shutter speed on 10 would have caught the water more clearly.

Take my comments with a huge grain of salt. I'm still learning and am more than happy to hear constructive advice.
