Looks like a beautiful getaway.
#1 is fine, perhaps lending itself more to a landscape oriented shot, but the background mountains are good elements in the image.
#3 suffers from significant colour noise and a lack of foreground form to the silhouette.
But they're pleasant results overall.

Thanks Ash. The last one was hard to take because it was totally dark outside, so it needed a 5 minutes exposure at iso 400. Maybe I should have used iso 200...

More C&C are very welcome

I like the second one! How far is this from Montreal? Looks like a good place to stop by next time I go to the relatives in Quebec

It's four hours from Montréal.

I like the night shot Miss - always tough to mix lights with star trails and get a balanced exposure.

Shooting into the sun is always tough (photo #2) - lens flare. You might try holding your hand or a hat to help shade the front of the lens.

Thanks for your nice comment. I should have a lens hood on my lens kit.

You have handled some rather difficult shots rather well.
The lighting in a couple of them must a been a challenge and you come up with quite good results.
Keep it up. Well done!

Nice shots, I really like the last one with the star trails. I have been meaning to try this for some time, thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you for your nice comment. The star trails was very challenging, I was always getting very bad exposed photos. I'm pretty happy of this one...

Thanks! That was the first time I tried to make a photo like this. Maybe next it'll be even better.
