I love this composition, it has loads to catch the eye and keep me interested. The black and white conversion works really well and enhances the mood nicely. Hats off to you for the effort involved in getting there too, a worthy winner in my eyes. Well done.

I like this, as it confuses my eyes. It looks like a lake reflecting the colours of the sky as opposed to cloud/mist. I do think the composition would work better without the tower but I guess if this was the angle you had then it's fine!

This is a really nice composition, I love the contrast between the 2 set's of trees it's almost like they've been shot in different seasons. I'd maybe look to add a tad more contrast and darken the sky as it'll give the image a better overall impact :)

Very atmospheric, Glencoe is noted for having changeable weather and to be honest it looks loads better when it's got heavy cloud! Lagangarbh hut is a lovely spot too, it lt just sit's so well under the Buachaille. Nice shot :)

I love this, the leading lines are mesmerising and do a great job of leading the eyes through the image. I like that you chose to process it in mono too, it's got a lot more impact than a colour image and you can really see the textures in the wooden boardwalk. Lovely job, well done.

This is a really nice shot, I like the colours and it's composed well. All the leading lines pointing to the centre work nicely and help draw the eye into the centre. I'd maybe crop it 16:9 to lose some of the sky, I think this will help the overall balance.

Rarely do I see drone shots that have actually had some thought put into them, but this I really like. It's got a real sense of Isolation, it's composed nicely and the colours are great. Great subject matter too by the way.

This is lovely, just the right shutter speed to give a sense of water movement but still retain the overall texture. The light looks nice too, soft and casting a nice glow over the rocks. Great sky as well, there's not really anything to dislike about this photo. Nicely done.

I'm not usually a fan of cityscapes but I really like this one, the sun between the buildings just makes it work so nicely. I like the composition too, it's simple but there's a lot to look at. Nicely done :)

This is great, well done for doing something different to the norm. I love the shallow depth of field and it's composed well. The sky is maybe a little too blue but it's just a personal opinion, overall it's a really nice shot

This is such a simple and yet very effective shot, I love the composition and the colours are really rich and warm. It looks a crazy place to visit, but great non the less. It's maybe a little tight in the frame but that's just a minor point and as I haven't been there I don't know if it's possible to shoot any wider.

This is pretty impressive, especially if it's just the one exposure. I really like star trails and the light trails look grand as well. It's difficult to compose in the dark too but you've managed it well. I really like this, well done.

I like the inclusion of the person in this, without him it'd be difficult to gauge the scale of the surrounding area. Nice colours too, ad the dappled sunlight looks fantastic. Maybe darken the sky a tad but that's just a minor point!
