Great image in contrast to the epic landscapes and action shots. It's a simple picture but really well crafted and observed. The colours and composition are working really well here - excellent capture.

Amazing shot so full of energy and life - the super fast shutter speed has stopped the moment perfectly. Great composition and colours make this a standout action shot.

This picture really captures adventure and freedom as the rider gallops across a beautiful landscape. The summer sun hazy on the mountainside and meadow. Great composition and use of fast shutter speed and depth of field.

Epic landscape - wow what amazing scenery and composition - hard to fault this image. The colours and contrast working beautifully together with a really sensitive approach to post production. Lovely.

A really great action shot - love the colours and composition - a superb action shot worthy of it's top 10 position. Fast shutter speed and small aperture stops the moment dead with great clarity -brilliant.

A really stunning image capturing the lone paraglider as he flies low towards the mountains and beyond. Beautiful light and detail of the canopy standing out sharply against the clouds and rugged landscape make this a great top ten entry.

A dark brooding image with that fabulous shaft of bright sunlight coming through from the other side of the mountain. The lone figure creating a sense of scale in this impressive landscape - great work!

Such a beautiful shot - it has a timeless quality which I love. The energy of this image has been skilfully captured in a fleeting moment of time. The subtle colours and simple white background really bring the galloping horses to life.

I love the scale of this image and the muted colour palette is superb. The detail and position of the lone figure in an alien landscape is a show stopper - it has unique quality which really caught my eye. A number 1 shot!

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** What greater joy than getting out from behind our screens and getting into nature. We walk, run and cycle its paths, paraglide high above it, swim its waters, and climb its craggy faces. Action and adventure photography is often enjoyed by the same folk who have that love for the outdoors, and is a reason itself to get out and breath the fresh air.
