I like this as it reminds me of past holidays in Greece, it's got a very similar feel. It's exposed well, composed nicely and has plenty to look at. The people on the beach help to give a sense of scale too.

What a great view! I love shots like this, showcasing mountains in all their glory, I like the colours and the composition is strictly all about framing the peak. You've caught a lovely sky too, it makes all the difference!

I like this, it's a bold composition that works nicely because of the shallow depth of field in the foreground. I think had you used a narrower depth of field the image would look unbalanced and busy. The sky looks great too 😍

I'm not quite sure what you've done to this but the colours are very unnatural and spoil what looks to be a nice image. I think if you revisit this and process it with a more sensitive approach you'll have a really nice shot.

I love this view, it's somewhere I'm yet to visit but I'd love to shoot there. You've shot a nice clean composition, no distractions and it's well balanced. Exposed correctly and the colours aren't overdone, overall its a nice shot!

I'm not quite sure I see the bowing woman but I do appreciate the view! I like the composition it's clean and without distractions. It's nicely exposed and it's level which is important. I'd maybe crop a bit off the sky but that's a personal preference as I feel there's a little too much blue.

This usually isn't the type of photo I am drawn to but I really like the bold colours and the composition. It's well thought out and feels nicely balanced. It's sharp, engaging and different to anything else entered. A well deserved number one slot :)

A classic scene but for a good reason, it's a wonderful view and this is a great example of it. I like the clouds as they break up an otherwise bland blue sky and the light looks pretty good too.

This is my favourite place on earth, I absolutely love visiting Alpe di Siusi its just a fantastic place to be and photograph. You've had some nice conditions here, thr sky looks good with the high wispy cloud. I'd maybe have included a bit more foreground and lost some sky if it was mine, but I still like it.

I can see what you were going for here, you need to make sure that when you are shooting water that the horizon is dead level otherwise it looks odd, once you notice the slant to right you can't unnotice it.

This has loads to look at and keep you occupied, the river works as a great lead in and guides you through the image. It feels balanced and well exposed, there's not really anything I don't like about this photo :)

I'm glad you stuck about to get this shot as it's been really worth it. For a mobile phone shot with difficult lighting it's pretty impressive, the limitations being the lack of dynamic range on a small sensor. Still, it's done a good job and well done for persevering 😎

What a beautiful sunrise! You've caught this really nicely, the reflections are perfect and I like thr reeds in the bottom of the frame. Your horizon is nice and level and it's exposed well. It looks like a gorgeous morning to be out :)
