New Joiners - Landscapes #538

What a great sky, full of texture and interesting clouds. It's difficult to tell if this was shot on a phone or camera but if it was a camera then a graduated ND filter across the sky would have really embellished the mood. I like the foreground too, using the old barge as a lead in was a good shout.

What a beautiful sunset. The colours are fantastic, that burning sky is a real treat. I'm surprised the cows weren't paying you a bit more attention though, they're usually pretty curious! Sunsets like this are always nice to sit and watch, cheers for entering it :)

I really like the look the wide angle has given here. It's stretched the perspective to make the clouds look like they're emerging from Ailsa Craig. The sea looks nice too, great colour and nice and calm. It's somewhere I've wanted to visit for a while, maybe one day I'll get there!

This is such a cool photo, it's like a scene from a horror film. I like the effort you've gone to to create the illusion of it being alone in the middle of nowhere. The conditions definitely help. The tree on the right is a little close to the edge of the frame it leaves me wondering if you could have turned to the right a tiny bit but it's still a pretty cool photo!

That is one mega angry sky! Golden light like this always looks great against a dark moody sky. I think you could have angle up over and to the right a little bit as you've cut the top of the trees off, this would have balanced the composition a bit better :)

Nicely caught, the fast shutter speed has done a good job of freezing the birds in flight. It's difficult to shoot into the sun successfully so well done for keeping the highlights contained. I like the patterns and textures in the wet sand too!

Black and white isn't usually my thing, but I quite like this one. It's nice and contrasty, has a decent composition and has an old school film look about it. I'd have maybe put a slightly less heavy vignette on as the sky is pretty dark in the corners.

This is a pretty cool shot, I like the way that everything seems to converge in the centre, from the road to the hills. I think had you used a grad filter you'd have been able to balance the image a little better as it has some pretty deep shadows. Still a nice shot though and deserves a top 10 spot.

Lovely reflections of a really nice scene. Definitely worthy of a top 10 finish. I'd have been tempted to get right down to water level to really show off the reflections but it's still a nice shot. The light hitting the barn is fantastic too!

This has the potential to be a really decent shot, with a couple of tweaks if you don't mind me mentioning them! When including buildings, you need to make sure the verticals are straight and level as everything looks as if it's leaning to the right. By straightening up it improves the look dramatically. I'd also warm the white balance up a little and add a slight vignette to darken the corners a tad, focusing your attention on the cool-looking hilltop town!

I'm not generally a fan of ICM, but I quite like this. Obviously, it has an abstract feel to it and I like the intrigue that brings. Not being able to tell what it is has a certain appeal. The sky is a tad bright on the right hand side which on a traditional landscape would be a major point but it kinda works here. Nicely done

This is a really beautiful shot, the colours are fantastic. I like the composition, it's framed well and the reflections are spot on. I'd have liked to have seen it with maybe a 1 or 2 stop grad filter on the sky as this would have allowed you to lighten the foreground a little bit :)

Ordinarily, cityscapes don't appeal to me but I do really like this. I love the leading line created by the street lamps and the clean overall look is good. It could do with a tiny bit of clockwise rotation to make the verticals true but aside from that I think you've done a really nice job!
