New Joiners - Landscapes #552

This is a really beautiful scene. I love the river leading in from the foreground. It's exposed well and composed nicely. I like the layering in the mountains in the background and the few fluffy clouds do a good job of breaking up that otherwise fully blue sky. Good job and well done for getting #1!

I love how you've gone with an idea of the shot you want beforehand and came home with it. I agree with you the exposure is maybe a tad too long but only because the detail in the top of the waterfall is lacking, I like the look of the water throughout the photo overall. The colours are spot on as well, nice vibrant greens and you've resisted the urge to lighten the natural shadows which adds to the look :)

Angry sky days are great, especially when the sun is trying to break through. Crepuscular rays always look spectacular and can make the difference between a bland shot of a dull day and a shot full of atmosphere. I'd maybe have lightened the shadows in the bottom right a tad just to give a bit more detail but overall I like this shot :)

I like the intimacy in this, it's not a big wide vista more a study of the smaller landscape. For a first go of photographing a stream and using long exposure, you've done a damn good job. I'd be happy with this, the colours are spot on and it's exposed perfectly. Great job

This hurts my brain, it took me ages to work out what I was looking at. It's really interesting and a completely different image from the norm, I admire the ability to spot a shot that has an edge. nice job.

Typically English, what a pretty scene. It looks a bit oversharpened but this could just be the way the phone has rendered it. It's a little bright as the clouds are overexposed so keep an eye on this in the future. Nice colours though and the composition is strong.

I quite like the overall view here, I do feel that the tree branch/stump has invaded the image a bit. I'd have preferred to have seen this view uninterrupted. It's sometimes difficult to work out what looks good but try and consider whether what you are including adds to the image or distracts. The focus is on the background so the large out of focus log takes the attention away from that epic view.

Is that Walter White in the distance?! This reminds me of Walt and Jesse in the desert in their RV in Breaking Bad! I like the composition with the road winding through the image. The square crop works well too, and it's nicely exposed with good colour. Nice job

At first glance I wasn't sure what I was looking at here then I spied the road and my legs had a little wobble! I assumed it was done with a drone then saw the EXIF data so can imagine what the drop must be like. Nicely exposed and composed well too. Nice shot

I like the almost perfect symmetry here that's only broken by the unopened sunflower head. The sky is a bit overexposed and could have done with an ND filter to help balance it but as this was taken with a mobile phone I doubt it was possible. Nicely composed and well spotted too

What a cool vista, I'd love to visit here! It's a bit of a shame the water wasn't perfectly still but that's not your fault. I'm impressed that you shot this from a moving car, it's nice and sharp and composed well. I can see why it's one of your favourite shots! Good job :)

I really like this, reflections are quite a big part of my photography and so I am partial to a good one! Nice colours throughout, I'd maybe have used a grad filter on the sky as the highlights in the clouds look a bit blown out. Good choice on aperture to get the sharpness throughout too.

That's a mega looking storm cloud! I'd have been exactly the same, desperate to pull over for a shot! I guess had you had some more time you could have stopped and found a better foreground but I get why you didn't.

This is lovely, it reminds me of travelling through Italy and the Dolomites with that beautiful light hitting the mountains. I like the inclusion of the small tree, it balances the composition nicely. Those clouds swirling around the mountain tops look spot on too :)

I really really like this, the exposure is perfect and the composition is awesome. The reflections work really well, and it looks like a nice warm day too. I've never visited Poland before but this is making me want to go so well done!
