New Joiners - Landscapes #508

This is a great example of how taking an image as a panoramic scene really works. On this occasion the photographer has cropped the scene to panoramic but it works equally as well. Cropping the blue sky really makes sense here, not only does it pull the viewer in closer to the interest but it loses what was probably an empty space which wasn't needed.

This scene just makes me want to be here! I'm not often a fan of harsh light and blue sky but the photographer has used those conditions brilliantly here. The silhouettes all have a great placement within the image and the sea mist helps create depth. A really inviting image, congratulations.

Theres lots to like here, the scene itself is full of mystery, the soft light and beautiful tones really help with the overall atmosphere, and the skilful processing give the image a touch of class.

An image full of mystery and atmosphere and one thats right up my street, congratulations!

Another beautifully inviting scene, who wouldn't want to go for a dip here! I love the choice of a long exposure here it adds a sense of serenity to the scene. I also believe there hasn't been any processing with this scene and I like how natural it is. Congratulations on making the top 10.

Another reason I am enjoying judging these competitions so much is being able to view images from all over the world. This beautiful image from Czechia really gives us an impression of how beautiful the country is. The rolling hills filled with beautiful forests looks like a paradise for a photographer. Congratulations on making the top 10.

I really am enjoying the quality of images taken on phones in these competitions, and here is another good example of a well shot phone image. It's a simple composition but very effective with some nice light play and a great sense of scale.

This is a bridge I have seen in images a few times before but until now I was unfamiliar with its location. This is an extremely well taken image and one you should be proud of. The composition is well considered along with the focal length choice. If I was to offer some advice it would be to shoot this at a quieter time to avoid the crowds on the bridge, maybe a sunrise would be a good time.

Wow, what a stunning black and white image! This is just a great example of when the conditions fall perfectly for a monochrome image. Soft back lighting, low cloud and rising mist, this must have been something to witness. Some people might question why this has been converted to mono, but for me the conversion has only helped to create such a striking scene.

A somewhat unusual but very well thought out image. Theres a very strong message in this image and whether you are religious or not it's clear we all have to respect and worship nature to ensure places of beauty within nature remain for generations to come.

What an unusual and eye catching scene. It wasn't until I read the info that I realised it was a drone image, it shows that not all drone shots have to be top down images and sometimes shots from a lower height can be extremely effective.

A lovely mountainscape. I really like the composition of this scene and although the light is quite harsh it works quite well. The one thing I would suggest to the photographer is to maybe decrease the saturation a little as the colours are a little unnatural in its current form.

A very pleasant image and one that came close to my top 10. The colours here are wonderful with the lone tree and its golden leaves standing out amongst the green grass and blue sky. A well composed image, congratulations.

This is an extremely well taken scene with great understanding of composition, with the placement of the elements really well thought out. Another image where the photographer has wisely chosen a panoramic crop to eliminate too much sky and concentrate own the details.
