New Joiners - Landscapes #683

Some lovely sunset colours here, I love the way the sun is lighting up the underside of the clouds on the left hand side a rich orange. I'd maybe crop a little off the top just there's a lot of sky that doesn't really add a lot to the image.

Ooh what a beautiful reflection, this is a gorgeous photo and one that definitely deserves to be in the top 3! The low mist really emphasises the mood and gives another dimension to the view. I love reflections and this is a great example!

I'm torn with this image, I like the composition and the textures in the fence posts are great but I think the processing is a bit over the top which has led to some halos etc around the high contrast edges. Despite that, it's still a nice photo.

Architecture is not really a genre that I usually enjoy but I quite like this, it's chaotic but feels organised at the same time. I like the black and white conversion as it forces you to look at the textures and lines rather than colours. Maybe correcting the converging verticals would have added a bit of extra oomph but it still looks nice.

If you'd never been to Skye then you'd struggle to believe this is in Scotland, it's an amazing view and one I absolutely love to photograph when I visit. It's nice to see a different composition to the usual shots from the beach or the harbour, the snow gives it that extra special touch too. Overall, this is a really nice shot.

I think compositionally this is pretty good, and there's a lot to like about the image overall however I think you've spoiled it by replacing the sky. The light doesn't match and the sky is a lot darker than the foreground too. I think if you're going to replace the sky you need to absolutely nail the execution and pick the right sky.

I like this as the water looks almost dream like, I quite like the shallow depth of field too. Nice colours and a good user of long exposure. It looks like you've either polarised the sky or processed it in an odd way as there's some strange pattern in the top left which detracts from the overall image.

This is a wonderful photograph! It has a dream like look to it and the pristine snow looks just incredible. The colours in the sky are really nice, subtle and not overpowering. It's composed well and the processing is spot on. An easy choice for the number one slot :-)

I admire your effort to hike to this spot before the crowds arrive, it's always good to get there ahead of the rush and nail your shot. I like this photo, it's maybe a little left weighted in the composition but it's nice and sharp, has good colours and is exposed well :)

I absolutely love reflections so it's nice to see this entered, it looks a fantastic place to shoot, I've some feedback regarding the composition if it's alright. I'd have liked to have seen you get right down to the waters edge to get a complete 50/50 reflection. that water is perfectly still so you'd get some incredible reflections!

I love it when I can look at a photograph and imagine myself being there, This looks like a great place to spend a few hours with a camera. I like your composition here, it's feels very balanced. The sky is nice and the colours are good, I think maybe the shadows look a little bright I'd be tempted to lower the black levels a tad.

I like this a lot, I love that you didn't let the rain put you off either and you've made the most of the overcast and wet weather. The black and white conversion is pretty good too, I like a high contrast mono conversion. The sky looks a tad noisy but it still looks reasonable.

I really like this shot, the square format works well and it's got a lot going on to keep me occupied. I like the vibrant colours, leading lines and overall depth. The only think that lets the image down a bit is the fence in the bottom right corner. I'd have liked to see it without but I understand that it may have been difficult to shoot without it there!
