These colors work so nice here. Also, a very nice composition, with lots of foreground elements and great depth.
I removed some artefacts, balanced the colors, and enhanced all the detail I could.

A nice clean composition. I made it even cleaner by removing the visitors.
There was also a terribad vignette in there, so I gently threw it out.

Straight out of Lord of the Rings.
I think I have a problem - this photographer calls his processing 'Dark Processing,' and generally produces dark photos, but I still thought it could be darker. So darker it is. Help.

I like this kind of a moody picture. Simple yet effective. And the sheep being this small due to being seen from high above add another unexpected element to it.
I deepened the colors a bit here.

Stairway to heaven? I know, I know... I won't let the door hit me on my way out.
Once again I used Windows 10 Spotlight version as the starting point - I liked the way they reframed the photo, and fixed the colors. I only added some basic adjustments.

...as much as I like to complain about it. Admittedly, there is a hint of other colors there, but it's all tinted green.
The only thing I did was dial-in the blacks.

Somewhat... suggestive-looking rocks somewhere in Italy.
The blue monochrome was a bit much for me, so I restored some color to the photo.

Not much to say about this one, I like the atmosphere, and the trunks with peeled-off bark.
I increased the contrast, that's about it.
