New Joiners - Landscapes #659

I like the straightforwardness of this, it's a no frills shot that just works. The black and white conversion is nice, I'd maybe have darkened the sky a little to really help the tree stand out but it still looks decent. I love the shallow depth of field too, the out of focus foreground directs the eye exactly where it needs to go. Good job!

I like the simplicity of this, the bold colours and no frills composition work nicely and make for a lovely happy photo. I'd maybe have included a little less of the put of focus flowers in the foreground as they do command attention but as they are the same colour it's not too distracting. Nice clouds too, you got a lovely day for a shot :)

I think this has potential, but at the moment it's very underexposed. The composition is nice and it's a decent subject but it needs to be a fair bit lighter to work in my opinion. maybe try brightening by 20/30% and see how it looks!

I like this, it's peaceful and relaxing to look at. The colours are nice, the composition works and the clouds look spot on. Your horizon slopes a little to the left so make sure you keep an eye on this but aside from that it's a nice image to look at.

I love abstract shots like this, they are so different from the conventional landscape shot and show off the world in an incredible way. The colours are great and the patterns are really fascinating, nice job on capturing it, it's really cool.

I appreciate the view here, but the colours are so oversaturated it's ruined what could potentially be a nice image. If you still have the original image, it would be worthwhile having another look and reprocessing with a lighter touch!

I like the natural frame you've found here, it works nicely, I'd maybe have cropped it in a little bit to lose the bright spot bottom left as it's a little distracting but overall it works well. Good colours too!

Those are some pretty impressive reflections! I really enjoy photography like this, where I get to see double of something that looks fantastic! It's well exposed and the composition is nice, it does slope to the right a bit so could do with being levelled but it still looks good!

I really like this, it's composed well, has nice colours throughout and shows a glimpse of something not a lot of people get to experience. Also it brings back memories for me of my trip there a few years ago!

I was amazed at how many old crofts there was dotted about when I visited Harris & Lewis a few years back. So many great looking buildings in stunning locations! I like your composition here, it's clean and has plenty to look at. Glad there was some clouds as this wouldn't have worked as well without them :)

Typically English, a really nice autumnal scene. I like that you've included the reeds in the foreground, they add another element of interest over a reflection shot. The reflections are nice and it's composed well. I'd maybe crop some of the sky off as there's an awful lot that unbalances the image a little but that's just a minor thing.

This is an amazing shot, I wish I had taken it. The composition is fantastic, it's lovely and sharp all the way through and the atmosphere and mood are class. I love the processing too, the cool tones really suit the image and give it a true wintery feel. I really do love this photo, well done and a deserved Christmas winner!

Drone shots really give a new and unique perspective on the landscape, a great way to see something you otherwise wouldn't be able to. I like the composition here, it's well balanced and the colours are good. The vignette is a tad heavy but it still looks alright.
