As soon as I saw this I knew it was the winner, what a spectacular view. Kudos to you for trekking to the viewpoint through the night for it, it really was worth it. It's composed well, exposed nicely and shows off a beautiful part of the world. I'd be chuffed to have this in my catalogue. Well done :)

I quite like the composition in this, and the subject is good but the colours and processing let the image down. It looks like you've applied some form of HDR software or similar but it's resulted in a very unnatural looking image. I think with a bit more careful processing you could have a god image here.
I've been here to recognised it as Slovenia instantly, it's such a beautiful place and the colour of the water is just incredible! We walked to Slap Kozjak along the river and it was so beautiful. This brings back nice memories for me so thank you. I like the composition, the river leading through the image works well and I quite like the stormy sky too!
Alpenglow is one of the best things to photograph, the red light on the mountains looks fantastic! We see it quite a lot in the Dolomites and it's always a treat. The foreground is maybe a tad dark but at that time of morning it's difficult to balance it unless you have filters etc. Nice composition though, I like the hint of the river and the whispy patches of low cloud.
What a striking image! At first I didn't really know what I was looking at but once I clicked then it makes sense! I really like this, top down drone shots always work well especially with such an interesting subject. The contrast in light on the rocks looks immense, I really really like the composition too!

I like the long exposure effect here, the water looks surreal and works nicely. The black and white conversion is a bit flat though, I think it needs a curve adjustment to bring some contrast back. I'd also crop it 1:1 to remove the right hand side as I think the left hand side makes a much stronger image! hope that's alright feedback!
