Landscapes from Above

August 2022

This photo is the most unexpected of my top 10. But it's not the least beautiful, quite the contrary. I love this unique green color and the graceful movement of the boat on the water. For me, looking at a landscape is first of all opening your eyes to what is happening and which can be fleeting but aesthetic, like here. Congratulations and thank you for your participation in my contest.

Here is another original image which fortunately takes us out of landscapes seen a thousand times, reviewed and corrected. Bravo for the composition and for the softness of the colors. Obviously, the drone is at the service of the photographer, as it should be, and the quality of the image is really at the top. Congratulations for this photo and thank you for your participation in my contest

This is an unexpected picture. Here, the landscape is a return to the life of yesteryear, and I really like rewarding this work where we feel a lot of tenderness and where we come back to simple and essential things. Here the photographer is at the service of a certain image of life and carries a fabulous message of hope. Thank you for this image and for your participation in my contest.

I like this photo. Firstly because it is not easy to photograph with a drone, while respecting the rules. Then this image gives me a lot of pleasure to look at it: the landscape is varied, colorful, and the technique is put, here, at the service of the charm of autumn. I am happy to reward this image which comes out of the usual shots on lavender landscapes seen a thousand times. Congratulations for all these good reasons and a thousand thanks for your participation in my contest

The Grand Canyon (South Rim) at sunset: this is a photo not so easy to take. That's why I'm so in awe of this image and the work you've done to make it easy to read in all these details. This landscape conveys a large dose of serenity and puts the human in his true place. Congratulations and thank you a thousand times for participating in my challenge.

I have visited Bryce Canyon more than ten times and I know how difficult it is, in these wonderful landscapes of hoodoos, to capture these moments of light at sunrise or sunset. Here, this light capture is perfect. Highlight and shadow detail are rendered to perfection. Congratulations for this beautiful image and thank you for your participation in my contest
