G'day Markus. Of the places or of the photos?
Great shots.
Lake Tahune is very familiar to me - spotted that straight away. And feders of course, though I still haven't laid my own eyes on it. Must fix that one day.

Pelion West looking gloomy is a great shot. I really like this one.

Tahune can be improved by tweaking the contrast / brightness. I took the liberty. Though this is not great - it's too overdone (a quick fiddle), you can see there is plenty of potential in the image for change if you felt inclined.

The horizon on the frozen lake is obviously off, this is something I dislike in an image. It's a wonderful subject and there may be enough data in the photo for you to rotate and crop if you wanted to try.
AAarrgh the fiddler in me got itchy feet again. Attached, a crop...

The image of Lake Ball in the snow is great - in the snow it's really difficult to get a good exposure when some areas are in shade and some are in sunshine, as there is usually such a contrast difference. You've captured it nicely.
Perhaps go for a bit less sky next time - the bushes in the foreground with snow on them are interesting and they seem a bit "chopped-off".

Looking forward to seeing more.

Note - If I have misinterpreted what you meant and you do not want this sort of opinion, please let me know and I will remove the post.
If you do not appreciate me editing your images, also let me know & I will remove them. I hope you find my opinions constructive.
If you want further assistance with techniques for post-processing of images, let me know what you'd like to know & I will see what I can dig up, possibly for the "Photography" section.

Thanks for the comment Mickeymoo.

Also thanks heaps for your advice and comments tasadam, Lake Tahune and Solomons Jewels look great with those changes.
It is quite strange (I'am no photographer by any means) because the two Federation pics and the Pelion West were taken with a digital SLR, and the others were taken with a compact digital RICOH. So the Lake Ball pic was taken with the RICOH and came out better than some of the SLR pics?
Anyway thanks again for the input.
