I've already rated your photos.
As for critique:

You have room for improvement when it comes to composition ( try to follow the "Rule of Thirds" in most occasions in landscape photography, feel free to break it in case of a better outcome ) [ examples of successfully breaking the Rule of 3rds: a location with a reflection of your subject in a lake/sea, you can do 50%-50% land/water distribution [ centering the horizon ], a scene with a plain sky or texture-less foreground where you want perhaps to emphasize the scale of the background/subject, a "perfect split" land/sky distribution 50-50 on both vertical and horizontal axis ]

Since you like shooting against the sun and with the sun inside your frame, you should look into a technique called "Exposure Blending" and sometimes ( for example the photo in the woods [ forest ] ) you could've used f/16 to create a sunstar alongside with a proper exposure for the sun to create an eye-catching image.

Try to find interesting things in the foreground and include them in your photo as foreground interest, it could be anything, from a sitting/standing human observing the scene, an animal, a log, stacked leaves, a statue, anything as long as it is complementing your photo/background and is placed carefully inside the frame.

And always, when it comes to landscape, re-visit the locations you deem worth photographing.
A better sky, with sparse little clouds, a colorful sunset/sunrise/dusk/dawn always complements a landscape photo.
Fog works nicely with landscapes, especially mountains/mountaintops/forests too!

Waiting to see more photos from you
