Very nice set!

Think with #7 I'd be tempted to try and bring out more detail in the shadows

Tried a quick bit of contrast masking...

Re: Shots around Ruthin, North Wales

Great set Such sharp detail + vibrant colours! I can't believe that peacock posed for you like that

#4 + #5 Great composition.

#6 is spectacular - the composition, viewpoint, detail, colours, exposure, DoF etc. Only thing I would say is it'd be even better if you could bring more detail out in the sky, maybe a bit of dodging + burning.

#7 is a bit too high contrast for my taste, and your later attempt to lighten the shadows didn't really improve the image IMO. Definitely an HDR candidate (but properly, using bracketed exposures, not a single image). That's my take on it anyway

Re: Shots around Ruthin, North Wales

Thanks for the detailed feedback, Charlotte I'll take another look at #7 in particular tomorrow, methinks, as I reckon there's a good shot in there somewhere I've got another bunch to put up as well . #4 is my favourite, actually - I love the curve in the line of stones, past the anvil to the tulips.
