Feedback and tips on how to improve

Hey guys,

I lost my mojo quite some time ago. I just had no drive to take pictures, I just couldn't see a picture in what I was looking at. I went to Iceland recently and took a lot of pictures. I would love some constructive feedback on the pictures below, if you would be so kind I have two different monitors at home so it's hard to tell if the colors are over saturated or not. I wanted to take far more long exposure shots of waterfalls, but I only had a Joby Gorilla tripod so I was very limited here.

How do I take a better picture? What filters should I attempt to use in Lightroom? Where can you get some nice free filters?

Picture 6 might make more impact as B/W?

I'm also not on a calibrated monitor so can't really help.... However, on my screen picture 3 grass in foreground looks very green...

I wonder could photo 1 have a very tight crop on just the hills, no sky. It would almost look like abstract art and might hold the eye a bit longer??

Im not sure how to take a better picture and not really qualified to comment, I think they are good photos. I don't know what the story is in Iceland with daylight hours, but would it have been possible to maybe take photos at dawn /dusk? Might have brought some more interesting light?

Only throwing in my tuppence as lack of comments from other, more knowledgeable folk.

Stunning shots. Really impressive. The first shot is particularly amazing, I certainly wouldn't be changing it. I'd be printing it and putting it on my wall I think!

Love 6 as is. 9 looks like you were pushing your sensor further than its comfortable with.
