This is a nice image, it's got a lot to look at and keeps my attention well. The composition is strong, the hill looks great surrounded by the clouds and I like the natural frame at the bottom made by the foreground hill.

I think this is a lovely photo, I like the way the sky mirrors the patterns in the wet sand and almost makes the entire image converge in the centre. I like the subtle colours throughout and the sunrise to the right looks great. Nice composition too, overall a really nice shot. Well done.

A lovely image, which quite rightly reminds me of trips to the Dolomites, The rolling hills near to Ortisei have this same look and it's just beautiful. You've caught some lovely light here, the shadows really help to break up the bright spots and give an extra dynamic.

I like this, it shows off a lovely scene and the snow coupled with the sunshine make for a very happy image. I love the way the snow covered trees look, and the road leading through works well. Nicely done

An iconic view, and one that doesn't really need an introduction. This is composed pretty well, although I'd maybe have cloned out the fence in the foreground and possibly the 2 people. They do give a sense of scale though so just personal choice.

Mega reflections here, and a great location! I've a couple of small pointers for you, when shooting reflections like this try and keep all of the mountains in, you've clipped the top of the mountain in this one and it makes it look a tad imbalanced. Also, if you can avoid stray branches and foliage you'll get a much cleaner image.

Such a cool shot, including the figure gives a great sense of scale. Sometimes it's difficult to determine the size of a scene you're looking at but this works really well. Nice colours too and it's pretty well exposed. Nice job

This is a really beautiful image, I love the way you've processed it to have a soft vintage look. It's got lovely colours and the composition is nice. I'd maybe try to darken the highlights in the gap towards the left hand side as they are a little distracting but that's just a minor quibble on an otherwise fantastic image.

Those are some awesome reflections, slack tide is a great time for them as the tide's neither coming in or going out so is usually still ...... if it's not windy that is. You've caught some nice light on the trees to the right, this location reminds me of being in the Dolomites and photographing alpine lakes.

I really like this, it's got a nice sense of isolation and almost minimalism due to the baron nature of it. I'd maybe have either cloned out the tree in the top right or tried to position myself so as not to include the branches as they fight for attention.

A really pretty autumnal image, the colours in the trees look fantastic. Take care when framing up a photo, you've caught the side of a building on the right hand side which could easily be cropped out to improve the image.

I like this, it's simple but affective. I've got a couple of suggestions for a crop, maybe try a square crop removing some off the left and top or even a 3x2 taking some off the same sides. I think both would improve an already pleasing image.

What a mad sunset! It's always the case, the best sunsets happen when the camera is tucked up at home in the bag. Still, they do say the best camera is the one you have with you and had you not had any then you'd not have a shot so be thankful! It looks pretty nice, for a phone shot the colours and details have been handled pretty well despite the massive dynamic range.
