I really like this, night photography is difficult as shadows are deep and lights are bright but you've done a good job here. It needs a bit of clockwise rotation as the building is leaning to the left. The starbursts from using a narrow aperture are spot on :)

I kinda like the idea here, I just feel that the main focus of the photo which is the seats has been completely obscured by the dark tree trunk. It looks like a great place to get some good shots and it does that had you taken a few steps to the left you could have avoided the dark tree :) however, I haven't been there so forgive me if I'm wrong!

What a cool image, it reminds me of the Dolomites! I like the simplicity of it, it's straightforward with no distractions and feels very well proportioned. The light is lovely and the cloud really helps with the sky. I'd be chuffed if I had this photo in my portfolio :)

This looks like a great place to photograph, I can see myself wandering around there for hours picking out shots. I'd maybe crop a bit of the sky out, and straighten the horizon. It seems a bit noisy but that may just be the resolution

A lovely photo, full of depth and colour. I really like this, there's loads to look at and keep me occupied. The Autumn colours are great, it's definitely the best time of year to shoot! Well done on the number one slot!

I like this as it's simple but still has plenty to keep my attention. The path is a great lead in and keeping the figure in gives a good sense of scale. It's exposed well and the colours are very natural. Lovely shot

I think this could be a lovely shot, I can't tell because it's a low res version but it looks really out of focus. The colours are lovely and the composition is pretty good, it does need the horizon levelled though as it slopes to the right.

Reflections are probably my most favourite thing to photograph, I just love the mirror image created by perfectly still water. This is a great example, I'd have maybe tilted down a tiny bit to centralise the horizon as the reflection is very close to the edge of frame.

What a mega landscape! It's sometimes difficult to get a sense of scale with shots like this but once you notice the buildings next to the lake the magnitude becomes apparent. Nice composition, plenty to look at and I'm sure it serves as a great memory too!

What a beautiful sunset, it's basically what you hope for every time you go out. I'd maybe look to crop some of the bottom to lose those dark rocks as they are a little distracting but aside from that it's a lovely shot.

A very atmospheric shot, different to everything else entered in this competition! I like the gritty processing, it really suits the scene, the low mist looks really good too. The composition is pleasing, there's not really any dead space so it's an easy photo to look at. Well done

A nice shot of some lovely reflections, however there's a lot of dead space in the sky above. I'd crop it to a 1:1 ratio as you'd still keep everything that makes the image good but you'd lose the negative space at the top that doesn't add anything.

A great shot for being taken on an iPhone, if I have a criticism it's that it's maybe processed a little heavily but I'm not sure if the phone has done that. It's quite blue, I think it could benefit from being warmed up a tad and the contrast reduced a little.
