I love the chaotic nature of this, there's an awful lot going on yet it still looks reasonably calm and collected. It's well exposed, composed nicely and plenty to keep me looking around. I'd love to visit here some time, not necessarily for a photo but it just looks a cool place to explore!

A nice calming scene, I like the shoreline as a lead through the photo and the colours are beautiful. It's good practice to make sure your horizon is level especially when shooting the sea as the lean is very obvious :)

I've got Hallstatt on my list of places to visit at some point, it looks like a really nice area! If I'm being critical I'd have liked to see a bit more of the water and the reflections, there's a lot of sky there that doesn't necessarily add to the image.

This is lovely, the layers of mist really make this a beautiful shot. I love how it zigzags through the photo from front to back. Nice colours too. I love shots like this, something different and great to look at! Well done :)

I really like this, it's great to see such a nice drone shot! I like the composition and the sky is fantastic. It's good when a plan comes together, the flowers on the cliffs are a nice splash of colour too. Well done on 1st place :)

This is a pretty cool shot, I love the top down perspective you get with a drone. I'm gonna hazard a guess and say this is Lago di Sorapis? I love the way the clouds are reflected in the turquoise water :)

I've never been to America but every time I see photos like this it just makes me want to visit more and more. I love the colours, and the landscape looks amazing. Great sky too, just the right amount of cloud!

This is a really pretty photo, I love the bold colours and simple composition. You've done a good job with removing whatever bushes you did as I've looked and can't tell where they were! This shot makes me want to go out with my camera!

Really good job, I love the natural frame created by the trees and their reflection. Nice colours too. There's a small leaf in the bottom right that catches my eye a little, and the water level slopes to the right a tad, you could probably remedy both of these at the same time by straightening the horizon and giving it a small crop to remove the leaf :)

I like this, it's nice and simple but kind of tells a story. I'd be temped to crop the dark tree out on the right though and just keep the lone figure as the main focus. I think it'd give a better sense of isolation!

For a small camera like the GoPro this is a really good shot. I really like the wide angle perspective, the sky looks fantastic and it really emphasises the road leading in. The processing is a bit marmite, but I think it suits the scene.

I like the soft pastel colours in this, it's very calming and easy to look at. It's composed nicely and the long exposure definitely works for this shot. Nice looking sky as well. all in all a pretty photo and would probably sell well as a canvas.

It took me a few seconds of looking at this to actually notice the people in the photo, before that it's difficult to get a sense of scale of the arch but it's really impressive! I like how you've composed this to get the rainbow in the centre, it's well thought out :)

I really really like this, such a simple composition but works fantastically well. The black and white conversion was a good shout, it's got plenty of range and I like that you've gone for a contrasty look. Nice with the long exposure as well, this is a beautiful shot :)

I love the composition i this, it's balanced and works really well. The flowers are a beautiful colour and the shape of the cliffs are nice in the frame.The depth of field is quite shallow but I can see it was taken on a phone so it's not really fair to blame you for that, maybe one to revisit with a bigger camera so you can capture it in all it's glory :D
