Humans in the Landscape with Creative Editing

First of all, thanks to you and everyone else who entered this contest. I hope you had as much fun making the pictures as I had judging them.This work is definitely not to be missed. Just like I am thrilled with all of your submitted photos for this contest. All done with technical skill and all have a touch of humor. So it is probably not surprising that I have chosen one of your photos for the first place. My compliments and congratulations :-)

First of all, thank you for sharing this beautiful picture. An exciting black and white abstract interpretation of the subject of humans in the landscape. Excellent composite image with few simple but well chosen elements. My compliment and a great placing as number two in the contest

Many of the submitted images in this competition have been edited to look like paintings. This stands out for its minimalistic and naturalistic look with a beautiful almost monochrome color choice. Excellent work, my compliments and a nice position as number ten in the contest. Congratulations :-)

Fantastic black and white landscape image with a great mood. Beautiful and soft because of the long exposure and at the same time very dramatic because of the black rocks. The person in the red cloak helps to enhance the drama. Excellent work and congratulations on a seventh place in my top ten :-)
