Landscapes

Very well seen and excellent composition. I love how you have captured the texture of the snow using the natural light and the shadows it creates. I like the warm feel to the colour of this image, it has not been over done either. A worthy 3rd place.

A very close runner up! The use of darker trees at the base and top of the image to hold the eye in the frame is superb. The abstractness of the white trees mixed with the younger saplings is the true genius of this picture. Very well seen. Less is more when it comes to colour, and a slight saturation reduction in greens might help the trees to stand out even more. Very well done.

What a fantastic image. I love how you have spotted this composition in the field. The use of colour tones to accentuate the yellow beech tree, and the capture of the natural light makes this my winning image. Your framing is left to right is excellent, giving the shadowed trees at the edges room to breath. With the slight bit of movement at the base of the image, if it was my image I might either take a bit off the top or tilt the camera in filed to centre the beech a bit more top to bottom, allowing for greater impact of the subject. Excellent work, one to be proud of!

Great image, I can see the work that you have put into this image. The composition, the blurred water movement to add atmosphere & the tasteful processing make an image to be proud of. Be very carful of blurring water to the point it loses definition and texture, less is sometime more. And if I was to be super picky I might add some more shading to the main rock so it really stands out. But, I hope you have this hanging on your wall as that where it deserves to be.

I love the intent of this image. A simple minimalist approach. There is a little to much negative space which distracts from the sea line, I would consider cropping to a square format. This would add to the abstract feel of the image and reduce negative space. Great picture.
