I appreciate the courage to ask. Watched you. You think you could give me some pointers on how to improve my scapes.

Well, my hones opinion is that they are overprocessed and the compositions are cluttered. Less is almost always more. Reduce the image to one or maximum 2 focal points (point of interest) and try to avoid distracting elements. Watch out for the edges of the frame so that nothing is cut half or nothing leans into the composition. Be careful with the light, shoot into the sun only if you know how to handle the resulting flare/blown highlights in a natural looking way. Don't try to save a bad photo by adding harsh oversaturated tones in post, if it doesn't have a decent composition to start with, it will only make things worse. Don't be afraid to experiment, but you also need to learn what works and what not. Study the photos of the best photographers, analize them how they were shot and why, try to replicate them in your own style. By the time you have the skills, you are ready to find your own path. (At least that's what I did when I was a beginner).

And don't forget the most important thing: have fun!

Thanks I'll save that. My autumn trees around here never get anything besides pale lime which is why it's over processed. You'd recommend then not having lensflares if possible?

Yes. Having a sunburst as your focal point is very advanced level. Lens flare is almost never a good thing though. Well, unless you are J.J. Abrams in disguise, of course!

Thanks I've maybe left our house 3 or 4 times for groceries in the past 6 weeks is all. My moms got cancer and is having to go to the hospital for chemo so it's worrisome for me. My dad on the other hand is just ticked he can't go gossip in certain places because my mom has been in hospitals. My father is selfish, hateful, and wicked.

We have only been out of the house for collecting shopping that has been ordered online. We do have a garden and the weather has been good enough to be able to sit out a lot, so we are not too badly off at all really. Although we've not actually met anyone in person for seven weeks our church has organised meetings and services on "Zoom" which keeps us in fellowship. 

For those with medical issues that would be exacerbated by Covid-19 we have the next stage from social distancing which is "shielding". Those individuals and families stay in all the time in total isolation and have food, medicines etc. delivered by family or volunteers. Stay positive my friend and it will pass!
