Barren landscapes

Brief

**Open to photographers with a ranking outside the top 1000. There are two other 'Barren landscapes' contests currently open to other ranks. Take a look at the <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/leaderboard/">leaderboard</a> for more information on Photocrowd rankings.** For every lush, green setting of tangled and uninhibited plant life, there's a barren landscape to match. Arid, infertile, desolate – but just as awe-inspiring and interesting to shoot, these environments are rich with photographic potential. There's no country or climate that doesn't have its own example of a 'barren landscape'. Can you surprise us?
