Thanks for looking. Suggestions welcome.

Not an easy light to work with... I like #3, it has some diagonal lines in the composition, a good mix of sea and cliffs, and the person for scale.

I envy your trip to Lofoten.  We had a great trip in the late '80s with a fair amount of sunshine.  We did encounter midges that would rival anything in Scotland but they weren't pervasive.
To me is seems that your shots are all a bit warm but as Paulo says this type can be difficult.  Hope you had a good trip.

Paulo and Chuck: thanks for the feedback.

I'll look at the warmth in these. There are some warm colours in the evenings when the sun is low, but I may have overdone it, being charmed by the novelty.

We only had one afternoon free of heavy rain. Need to go back.

In the 1 and 2 I feel some lack of black in the grass, I like much more the third: the grass has more contrast, the person gives to the picture also a spot of colour and a sense of the sublime (dynamic more then mathematical).

Thanks, Muntanela. Looks like #3 will end up on my wall.

I have cooled the temperature in all these images. They look better. I attach a new cooled image.
