New Joiners - Landscapes #691

Kudos to you for getting there early before the reflections got spoiled. The early bird gets the worm as they say. I love reflections and these are pretty much mirror perfect. I'm always amazed at the colour of alpine lakes, the turquoise colour just looks incredible.

This is a really colourful and pretty photo, I think I'd crop a little off the bottom to remove the dark shadow as it's the only thing that drags my eye from the brightness of the image. Other that that it's pretty good!

I like the way you've shot this, it's almost like an abstract portrait. The black and white conversion is good, nice and contrasty and plenty of impact. Ordinarily the sloping horizon would be a big no no but I think in this case it kind of suits the photo.

This is a lovely view, you're lucky to have it on your doorstep! It would be pretty cool to see a montage of the 4 seasons here, I think the view would lend itself to that kind of project well. If I'm being critical I'd crop the very top off, I don't think the broken horizon adds anything.

I really like this, it's nice to see a stormy sunset every once in a while! I like the movement in the water, it's enough to give a sense of movement but not so much that it's unrecognisable. The warm light on the rocks is a nice touch too.

A classic view that never fails to look great. I'd maybe have been tempted to crop a small amount from the bottom right, keeping the 1:1 aspect ration but centralising the valley a tad more. That's just a personal preference though it's still a nice shot! :)

It's nice to see a slightly different angle from here, Usually it's head on from the middle of the river so it's good to see what the surrounding cliffs look like. I'd maybe crop a third off the bottom to make it a square crop

This photo is out of this world, I absolutely love this and to be honest I'm a tad envious that it's not mine! It's got everything, stunning conditions, good processing and the composition is next level. I'm a sucker for a big foreground and this ticks all the boxes. This is a wonderful image. Well done on the win :)

You've caught some mega reflections here, and in a wonderful place too! I love Buttermere, it's a great place for photography. If I could give you some advice for next time, get yourself right down to the waters edge and get your camera low down to the surface I promise it's worth it!

I love this as it's just so unusual, it shows off something you'd never otherwise be able to see or appreciate. It's composed well, feels organised and well thought out. I particularly like the way trees look from this perspective, almost like cocktail umbrellas!

A classic composition of a very well shot area. I like the clouds coming off the mountain, it almost looks like a volcano simmering away. You've caught some really nice light on the mountains as well. You made a good decision going early!

This has gotta be in the top 3 as it's just magical. I've been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on a few occasions in Norway so know how special it is and know how you'd have been feeling when you shot this. It's a simple composition but the fact that you've got the different colours in there is what makes it special.

I like this, i'm not usually a fan of cityscapes but this has plenty of interest and a lot to keep me occupied. Is it a pano? It's composed nicely, exposed well and the sky looks great, I'd maybe up the white balance a tiny bit, it feels a little cold but that's just a personal preference!

I think this has potential with a few tweaks, there's a lot of negative space that doesn't necessarily add to the image so I'd go for a slightly tighter crop. Also, make sure when you are shooting at the seaside or with a flat horizon that you keep it level. It's really noticeable when it slopes to one side!

This is pretty cool especially for a mobile shot. I love the low angle, getting low like that is a must for small subjects as they just look lost otherwise. The tree is a tad off putting, I'd maybe have taken the shot an inch or 2 to the left and turned the camera to the right to either lose the tree or maybe just lose the space to the left of the tree so it's not as noticeable.
