This photo tells me the stories of the ancient times, about the legends and the myths, the unknown fears and the atrocities of the ancient Gods.

this is an underexposed photograph, where the curve is biased towards the left, but this photo has got the right ambiance to counteract that situation.. In my opinion you can work a bit more on the foreground, exposing some areas.

Very nice work.

Congrats for being the 1st of my list. I certainly thank you for submitting this amazing photograph.

This bridge seems like a passage way between two worlds, at least how I interpret. The amazing angle showing the perspective of the frame, such that it delves into the world unknown.. When I look at the stones and the broken reflection, the mammoth shape creates an sense of conjuration.

The long exposure works fine on the sky , the silky clouds and slightly blurry water somewhat creating a resonance.

Not going into much of any technicalities, the overall framing and ambiance takes it all.

very nice work.

In this photo, which attracts me the most is the wonderful use of long exposure , both in the sea and the sky, uniformly. The lighthouse stands clear, so does the rocks, making the frame absolutely stunning.

Slight exposure adjustment on the lighthouse could have been slightly better in my opinion though.

Overall a beautiful monochromatic landscape.

This mysticism it creates with a foreground so common yet abstract, making this photo a beautiful piece of art.

The innovative approach and a sense of being no where, yet everywhere, has compelled me to choose this one from some other great photos.

very nice work.

Lovely framing and fantastic composition. The amazing rock formation , depicting a "fish head" approaching towards the smaller rock, is funny and imaginative. This photo helps me to run my imagination in different dimensions.

the long exposure on the sky is absolutely stunning, i could have suggest a bit more exposure adjustments and detailing to the foregrounds (stones).

Very nice work.

This is the kind of photo that creates a sense of gloomy and surreal effect in the mind of the viewer. The superb long exposure of the water and the stark contrast of the rocks, properly complimenting the looming and foreboding skies above. The light is just optimum for this kind of setup, and illuminates the waves nicely.

I also commend the rolling approaching waves , and overall ambiance of the coastline.

Very nice work.

This is an epic setup, showing the grandeur of the nature to the fullest. The monochromatic approach is very correct in this photograph, that blends with the clouds and the fogs.

The space in front of the treeline is tending towards a sense of "minimalism", which is a nice approach in my opinion.

For me this is a good framing and beautiful surreal composition.

Its a great landscape with fantastic contrast, shown all over the frame. Though the light is a bit flat, but the natural formations and the prominent subject at the middle, making it beautiful. The sky could have been emphasized a bit more, by changing the angle. Overall i like the subject and natural contrasting capabilities within the frame.

Nice job.

This is one of the most beautiful monochromatic landscape from this exhibition. The beauty lies in the light that is reflecting from the roof of the house , which creates a dramatic effect.. The sweeping clouds is just optimum for the snow capped mountains for a good background., which is truly complimenting the foreground.

Its a simple yet very eye catching composition, that generates a sense of poetic feeling in the frame.

Nice job.

This is a very surreal picture, I suggest a bit more detailing on the ground to bring out the mapping of the cracks. T he sky looks absolutely beautiful.

the presence of these dead trees making this photo a "stand alone"

What I feel is that, this image is truly justified by the monochromatic approach. I can easily imagine how it will look in colour, which is quite common, for a landscape like this. But, when it is desaturated and still expressing the same beauty, that means a lot for this photo, in my opinion.

the amazing contrast and details , with a nice reflection, making this photo a great composition.

many congrats.

Sydney is always an amazing place with all its modern structures and beautiful suburbs. When I was curating for the nature related compositions, this photo suddenly popped up and I felt , why not? its a beautiful framing in a modern landscape!

very clear, wide and captivating.

Nice job.

In this planet when we are talking about landscapes, the introduction of Human sometime can enhance the beauty of the whole composition( if done artistically). This planet is incomplete without us, and we are incomplete without nature . This photo is a good example of that. The silhouettes of the trekkers/campers/photographers, complete the rendering of a wonderful framing.

Fantastic approach towards framing a story. Many congrats.
