This is a fantastic view of the Sassolungo, one of my favourite places to visit! The light in the foreground is fantastic, I'd maybe desaturate the blues a little in the sky as they're a tad strong but I still really like this image. If you get another chance to visit the Alpe di Siusi, get yourself along to Malga Sanon for a meal. Luka and his family are great hosts and the food is amazing, not to mention the stunning view!

What a lovely photo, I love the composition with the Goarse bush anchoring the scene. Really nice water movement too, enough to give a sense of action but not too much so it's one big nasty blur. I'd maybe have been tempted to clone out those 3 or 4 little bits of grass bottom left but I'm just being picky there. Nice job overall :)

This is a great natural leading line, you did the right thing photographing it! I can imagine it would look amazing in the evening with some sidelight and a colourful sky. I'd maybe warm the white balance up a tiny bit but I still really like this, nicely done :)

Mega colours on this one! There's quite a bit of noise in the shadows but I guess as this is taken on a phone it can't be helped and I can't really criticise you for it. This must have been an awesome sight to see, the low cloud hanging around the bottom of the mountain looks fantastic too!

I quite like this, it's nice and simple and just easy to look at. The light catching the tree is nice and the composition is straightforward. I'd maybe have cropped a little from the top right to offset the tree a bit but it still looks good.

Shooting directly into the sun has worked a treat here, with the backlit snowdrops catching the sun it has a magical feel to it. It looks like a really beautiful place to visit. Compositionally I'd have possibly cropped a little off the dark tree on the right as it draws the eye but aside from that, I wouldn't change anything it looks great!

I can see what you were going for here, however there's a couple of points that I feel could improve the image. Compositionally, if you'd stepped back a tad and included the whole gate it'd have given a more prominent foreground. Also it's good practice to make sure your verticals are straight. For example, the horizon is sloping to the right quite a lot and the trees have a lean on them. Look for something in the scene that we know is vertical and go from there. The colour balance is off too, I guess this is a filter applied after so I'll not dwell too much on that :)

A lovely composition and exposed really nicely. I particularly like the light in the foreground, it really picks up the grass and bushes well. Be careful when processing high contrast edges, there's a noticeable halo around the edge of the mountain that could be tamed with a lighter touch during processing

The clouds hovering above the mountains there look epic, it always fascinates me how they form and cling to the tops. I'd have been tempted to crop this 16:9 and lighten the shadows a little. The cloudless sky commands a lot of attention whereas the foreground is pretty dark. I think if you removed a bit of sky and lightened the bottom right the image would have a totally different feel.

This is a really striking image. I like the combination of all the elements, it's a surreal looking photo. I think it could have done with the white balance being cooled down a little, just to introduce a little more blue into the sky but it's still a decent image to explore!

Nicely composed and well exposed. I'd maybe have lightened the bottom left just a tad. It's a classic view and with good reason, Tryfan is a great shape and looks amazing in the morning light. You've had more success than I did here, I fell in the stream in winter at 7am and didn't even end up getting my camera out the bag. I had to drive to Cunninghams in Betws-y-Coed to get some dry socks and pants as it was so cold!

Fantastic colours here, the tree on the right looks great all golden. Autumn is the best time of year for photography in my opinion, most places are quieter and the conditions are loads better. I'd have liked to see the standard shot of the water too just to see how much difference there is!

What a cool picture! I love the seemingly neverending reoccurring patterns, they have an abstract feel to them and look tremendous. The uniform changes in colour throughout are pretty satisfying to look at too! A really unusual, but very good photo!

The Langdales are one of my favourite places in the Lakes, it's relatively quiet and super beautiful. I like that besides the dry stone walls there isn't really anything visibly man-made in this image, giving a good sense of being away from it all!
