#3 is my favourite, it looks like an oil painting.

Amazing work! I really like #3. The lighting is perfect.

Maybe it's just me but I find in #s 7 and 8 the out-of-focus objects in the foreground to be a bit distracting. I do generally like out-of-focus objects in the foreground but they have to lend to the composition usually by framing it or drawing attention to a particular spot. The flowers on the left, to me, look as if they're blocking the composition though.

Otherwise they're really great. I think the merits of good equipment shine through for landscape pictures. And you have some of the best.

Does a great job with blues and greens, were you using a polarizing filter?

#9 is beautiful. Technically, it has too many unsharp elements in the foreground, but somehow it all fits together.

No, no filters at all.
And most of the photos are completely untouched in post-processing.
Just conversion from raw.

The makro-planar is a magic lens. The transition from out-of-focus to in-focus areas is so smooth...
My intention was to draw attention to the branch in the center, I think it worked out well (shot @ f2.5)
And the light was perfect, the greens in the grass were glowing...
