New Joiners - Landscapes #636

I love big wide shots like this, they really show off the landscape and make you appreciate the effort of getting to such places. The dappled light here looks fantastic, it really gives the image depth and shows off the scene well.

The Tuscan landscape has a really unique look, it's instantly recognisable and always looks great. I visited the Val d'Orcia a few years ago and was blown away by its beauty.. I really like your composition here, the layers lead you through the image nicely. Well exposed too and great colours, what's not to like?

This looks so much like the Dolomites in Italy I was surprised to see it was in Utah! I love scenes like this, mountains have such a presence in an image and really frame this well. It's exposed well and the composition is decent, there's notthing really to dislike about this photo. Nicely done.

Nice bright colours, simple composition, and a pleasant subject. Mobile phone shots are getting better and better and although they may not have the resolution of a DSLR they still can hold their own for certain scenes. There's a bit of haloing around the high contrast edges but there's not much you can do in thie case :)

I really like this, there's only one thing that's spoiling it in my opinion and that's the people in it. I think this would have a load more impact if you'd either waited for them to move or cloned them out. Hopefully you'll agree!

This brings back great memories from a trip to Kenya in 2019, African sunsets are a sight to behold and the colour seems to burn forever. There's nothing better that sundown drinks at the end of a day of safari photography, thanks for entering this it put an instant smile on my face.

For such a crowded place you've done well to get such a clean shot. I love the long exposure on the water, it looks fantastic. Well done on containing the exposure in the highlights too. The composition is nice and balanced, I'd maybe have lost a little off the bottom but that's just a personal preference.

I really like this, a nice simple composition but with plenty of impact. The water movement is just right, not too slow to make it a white blur but slow enough to give a lovely sense of movement. I love the strong greens as well. A nice change from a conventional landscape. Well done.

I've been to Brothers water plenty of times and never really came away with a shot I like, I just always seem ti find it awkward to shoot. You've managed a lovely shot here though, it's composed well and the exposure is pretty much bang on. Nicely done.

This is a spectacular image, the river in the bottom really makes it as otherwise you'd have a huge expanse of black with nothing to break it up. Black and white conversions really work well for this type of image. Nicely done.

I really love this composition and I think with a little more careful processing this could potentially have won this comp. It's a bit too contrasty and there's some fringing and halos on the high-contrast edges. It's got a lot going for it though, the subject is fantastic and it looks like you had some amazing conditions.

Black and white conversions really work well for this kind of scene, taking away the colour forces you to concentrate on the forms and textures of the mountains. You've got some lovely reflections too, you made a good choice waiting for a darker sky, it really adds to the mood.

I like the water movement in this but the image feels a bit busy overall. The composition is cluttered and the angle is a bit unflattering. Try getting down low and shooting up towards the waterfall as it'll have a greater impact.

I love the mood in this. Low mist makes such a difference to the overall look and feel of an image, there's no way this would have the same impact without it. Nice reflections as well, was it possible to get a little closer to the waters edge? I think the trees across the lake would look amazing shot without anything else in the frame
