This is stunning, such a beautiful image. I've been here a few times and know how nice it can be and also how difficult it can be sometimes to get this view clearly. I love the composition, I'd maybe have given the top a little more room as the top of the peaks look a tad tight in the frame.

This is a great image, bags of atmosphere and the low mist looks incredible. I love the colours and just how eerie it all looks. The frost on the grass makes for some amazing foreground and I like that there's a lone figure in the background too. Nice job

There's a lot of positives in this image, I love the water movement and the dappled light coming through the trees, it's composed well and has plenty to look at. There's a bit of a hot spot on the water that I think could do with being tamed down as it commands a lot of attention.

I've only been here once but I do agree with your observation about I having a sort of community feel! This image is really nice, I love the sky and you've composed it really well. It's got a bit of a tilt to the left so I'd straighten it but aside from that it's pretty good!

I really like this, it's a great winter scene and the frost and snow on the trees looks amazing. It's processed well and composed nicely. I love the juxtaposition between the serene countryside and the power station, it shouldn't work but it really does.

this is a wonderful shot, the water looks like a metal blanket and I absolutely love that. I like the 2:1 crop as well, it shows off the falls well and the inclusion of the rainbow is a nice touch. Great job

For a phone shot this is really cool, it's composed well and the coastline looks amazing. One big thing to keep an eye on is your horizon, it's imperative that the horizon is level especially when water is involved! It can really make or break an image :)

I like this a lot, the flower meadow looks great with the mountains as a background but I do think that it would benefit from a crop. The left hand side of the image looks fantastic but the right looks a bit flat and noisy. I'd crop this in half and take away 50% from the right hand side. I think it'd look so much better.

What an epic view, I'd love to go and shoot here. You've caught a lovely sunset here, the colours are vivid but not too saturated that they look unnatural and the central composition works nicely. It's maybe got a bit of a lean to the left so might benefit from a tiny bit of clockwise rotation but it might just be the way the land lies.

I love shots like this, low mist always looks good surrounding a lone tree. I'd be tempted to crop this to a 16:9 and have the tree on the left third, there's quite a bit of empty space at the top and bottom that doesn't really add to the image.

A nice classic composition, simple but effective. I think it's got maybe a little too much contrast which has resulted in some halos around the edges. You've managed to block the reflection of the church with a reed, it'd have been better if you could have moved an inch or 2 to the right!!

This is a really nice view, and one that deserves to be shown off. The processing is a bit heavy handed, I think with a softer touch you'd have a really strong image. I'd also crop some off the top to make it closer to a 16:9 ratio.

I really like this view, there's loads to look at and keep me occupied. The water looks incredible and the composition overall is pretty good. Your horizon slopes to the right a bit so keep an eye on that as once you notice it you can't unnotice it!

A really cool image, I've only really ever seen the MW this clear once and it was incredible to look at. I love how many stars you can see, just amazing. I like how you've included some silhouetted trees as foreground too, it's often overlooked on night sky pics.

This is a pretty good shot, drones definitely offer us a great perspective on what could be an otherwise difficult location to photograph well. You've caught some nice light here and composed it well. The autumn colours look spectacular too.
