This image epitomises a fragile world, with a great composition, subject and unique angle. The image has a clear and hard hitting narrative which is emotive and connects with the viewer. The processing is natural and appealing, however I would consider increasing the vibrance slightly to allow the colours to 'pop' a little more. This is the only thing I would consider tweaking but otherwise wouldn't change anything else as it's a fabulous image!
This is a fabulous abstract image; the colours and contrast within this image are incredible and well captured and each section of the image has it's own unique texture and colour. The processing is natural and well done, resisting the temptation to push the colours too far. It's difficult to know the context of the image, however I may have been tempted to include a little bit more of the fiery red colour, however this is nit picking at it's finest!

This image is visually stunning, with beautiful pastel colours and a dramatic view. The red boat undoubtably makes this image, with great contrast along with creating a sense of scale against the iceberg. The processing is well done, not being tempted to push the contrast or colours too far. A very well executed image as a whole.
A fantastic example of good drone photography, with the road acting as a perfect leading line & great contrast from the light hitting the tops of a select few trees. Very well processed and the image gives the feel of conflicting seasons, with snow abundant on the ground yet golden hues on a handful of trees.
This image is very well done, with clear contrast between the subject and its surroundings ensuring that nothing distracts viewers away from the subject. The expression is easily anthropomorphised which helps us connect and become more intrigued by the image as a whole and the composition, although it could be deemed as the subject 'looking out of the frame', works very well.

This image is extremely emotive with a clear and concise narrative that hits the viewer hard. The composition is perfect and processing is natural and good. I found it very difficult to not award this image, but when confronted with poor light conditions, the choice between blur or a grainy image can be difficult. Personally I would have preferred grain and nose over motion blur in this image, as it could have actually worked with the mood and theme of the image. Don't be afraid to push your ISO higher than you may be comfortable with in the future.
