Beautiful colors - a nice peaceful scene. I would experiment with cropping out some of the sky - perhaps just above the mountain, to give it a more panoramic feel. Just make sure that the horizon isn't right in the middle!

Beautiful graphic composition of complimentary colors. How lucky for you that someone wearing something of the same hue wandered through this area! It's all that much better that she is facing away from the camera, and not posing. Nice touch!

This is a pleasant shot, and I agree with Bob that the out of focus foreground is distracting. Perhaps that bush is the reason that you couldn't move a little forward and to the left so that we could actually get a better idea of what the person is doing? If you hadn't named it 'The Painter', I couldn't have concluded that is what she was doing.
Nice framing by the beautifully backlit tree.

Very creative! I've got to start playing around with Photoshop more. I like the infrared effect -- it adds so much to the mood. (Did you add the 'noise' as well?)
It's good that you took this in winter - wouldn't have worked with leaves on those trees!

Not so much a critique as a question... how did you do it? Did the guy get up and walk away after sitting still for several seconds?
Very creative and thought-provoking.

Very nice - you obviously have a 'photographer's eye'. How many people at Balboa Park would examine a tree's roots so minutely?
I echo the others - great texture and contrast.

Absolutely spectacular! Isn't is wonderful when all things come together - beautiful scenery, and a blue sky with puffy white clouds.
Great depth of field - sharp throughout.
It's a winner!(BTW - just joined today - this is my first critique...)
