I don't know whether you are looking for technical or pictorial
comments, but here's a couple of quick remarks.
The pretramonto-su-Portofino.jpg seascape is clear and sharp as would be
expected from a 10D and the 17-40L. Composition reasonable, the boat
exiting left adds a bit of balance to the hills on the right, but the
shadows on the nearside of the breakwaters are, on my reasonably
calibrated monitor, somewhat dark. I loaded the image into photoshop
and lightened the shadow areas, and there's plenty of detail available
in those areas. Possibly you are using a Mac computer, images from Macs
frequently appear too dark on PC's due to the different gamma settings.
The distant range of hills is well rendered, with atmospheric haze
lightening them to a pleasing tone.
The romano-da-un-interno.jpg is again clear and sharp, and could be a
very interesting shot, except, in my view at least, the door leading
into the room beyond extends right the way down the image, from top to
bottom borders. It has the effect of cutting the image clean in two,
totally isolating the left from the right. I wonder if the image was
cropped, and if some floor below the door is in the original shot.
Again, the shadows are a little dark, and on my monitor look better
lightened.
Please tell us what computer you use, whether the images are cropped,
and whether you attempted to adjust the tonal values in the images.
