Living in Florida, I didn't want to do the same old beach shot for landscape. So I thought I would try to get a good shot at Myakka State Park near Sarasota.

Love the colors especially the reflection on the water. Wish you could see a little more detail in the shadow area on the lower right hand side of the photo.
What a neat location. I think this might have been better if you were able to lighten up the right 1/3rd of the picture. Maybe a big flash or something. That can be risky with water, but it seems a little too dark over there. Nice capture of the sky in the water and the lush greenery.
It seems oversharpened. And while I like the idea of the tree in silhouette, there's so much detail in the rest of the picture that it makes the darkened tree seem like just an obstacle that couldn't be overcome, rather than the central point of focus.
7 - Nice, and good coloring. Criticism; not much, undecided if I would like to see more 'light' on that fore tree, but I do like this 'dark' effect there too so unsure. Difficult also to tell if it is 'straight', or needs a nudge up on the right. I think just a bit more detail on the right of frame, 'around' the tree, may have made this even better.
