New Joiners - Landscapes #513

March 2021

Nice colours, and great reflections. Was it possible to get a bit closer to the water and lower down? Reflections are incredible when water is as still as that and if you can get right down at water level it makes for a really striking photo! Nice job on it, the green is maybe a little over-saturated but it's a nice photo to look at!

A great viewpoint, Passo Giau is a wonderful place to spend a few hours. You've caught some great light here, as well as an interesting sky. It's a shame about all the cars however as I'm guessing this was mid-summer there's not really much you can in that respect!! Nice composition too with Ra Gusela taking centre stage!

This is a really beautiful image, I love that you adapted and included the buck! Honestly, this makes the shot. It's a great example of working with what's presented to you, so often we go out with a preconceived idea of what we want and it doesn't pay off, but this time you've come away with something really lovely. Nicely done!

Great colours, and some fantastic light to go with it! I like the almost random mismatch of huts, they look good as a leading line through the photo.. The sky is maybe a little contrasty, I'd be tempted to lighten it a tad but overall a lovely photo.

I really really like this, it's got an air of simplicity about it but it still has loads to look at. Nice composition, a lovely sky, good light and the flock of birds all grab your attention, it makes you want to be stood there for real! nice job

Patagonia is one of those places that when you see a photo it just makes you think, damn I wish I was there. Looks like you've had some great weather there, if I was to be picky I'd maybe have upped the contrast a little, and possibly boosted the saturation but it's still a pleasing image!

Snowdonia is awesome, you could be forgiven for mistaking this for a shot from the Dolomites or the Alps! I like the moody sky, it suits mountain scenes so much better than bright blue! the dappled sunlight adds so much, you've timed it well as without that contrast between light and dark you'd have had a really flat image. Well done :)

A really simple, but effective image. The autumn colours are tremendous, if I was to be picky I'd have liked to see the horizon levelled a tad and maybe a few of the bigger floating leaves cloned out as they draw the eye a little but those are minor points, it's still a beautiful photo.

I think this has the potential to be a nice image, with a few subtle improvements. When shooting the sea, or water in general it needs to be level. It really does make a huge difference to the photo, also I'd maybe have lightened the shadows to bring out some of the details in the pier. With these couple of small changes, you'd have a much stronger image :)

This looks like a stunning place, every time I see photos from both the Amalfi Coast and the Cinque Terre further north it just makes me wish I was there. I like that you've included those fluffy white clouds, they look great. I can't help but want to see more of the beach and foreground, maybe tilting the camera down a few degrees would have balanced it out a little. Still, a lovely image and it's done it's job of making the viewer want to be there!

I like this a lot, as per your title it looks like a giant hand clawing it's way out of the sea. I'm glad you didn't remove any of the snow spots, they really add to it. I feel cold just looking at this photo!
