    This is stunning.

    Marvellous mountains 😀

    As well as the gentians and silene (pink flowers) in the last one you can see the leaf rosettes of a minuscule primula - maybe P. minima. The leaves always make me think of mole's paws coming up from their burrow 😁

    Very dramatic, and yes, amusing.

    Those blue flowerers are very intense. We have them too in the Apennines. Looks like a nice hike.

    I love these ancient sites. The third shot really has an air of mystery.

    This looks like something out of a theatrical shoot. The timing is perfect. It needs to be seen big though.

    It is a depressing building!

    Mining seriously damages the environment, so it is good to see some effort to restore it .

    I like this, no idea what's going on in it, but I like it.

    I really like this, that winding path has more emphasis and gives the eye somewhere to rest.

    Sounds and looks like my kind of country and yet another part of the UK that I didn't know existed (Brodgar, not Orkney). Nice shots, these would be my favourites, but I feel the first three above could do with just a bit of nudge on the shadow and/or black sliders if there's any extra detail to be had in those shadows. The fourth one above works well as a silhouette though.

    You hike in some superb locations and you've captured them well here. The blue flowers in the last one look stunning and somewhat alien compared to most of what I generally see in the English countryside (it's all green, brown, yellow and occasionally pink/red if you're lucky). Even our Bluebells tend not to be as vibrant as those.

    I was going to comment on the light too, it really makes the images.

    Probably for the best, that's a menacing looking building if ever there were one.

    These first images seem almost menancing from weather...

    This first shot with prey could have been winner with better quality (=faster shutter speed) and bit closer...

    Nicely used light/shadows. Only the hand position is bit unfortunate, connecting to background light.

    I like the huts in shots, gives impression of scale, which otherwise would be lost.
    Are these colour strips on last shot markings for trekking paths? Here we don't have mountains, instead trees are painted with stripes to designate trekking paths.
