This is a really beautiful image, I've just spent a week in Tuscany and saw a lot of similar inversions. I love the way it looks like an ocean lapping at the shore. It's framed well and exposed perfectly. if I'm being hyper critical the branches at the very bottom do catch my eyes a little but it's not enough to distract from the overall image. Congratulations on the win, it's a really nice shot.

I love the colours in this, they're subtle but really beautiful. I'm a little puzzled at the choice of aperture, if you've upped your ISO a bit to maybe 400 and narrowed your aperture to f8 could could have kept the shutter speed high enough to hand hold and the trees in the foreground could have stayed in focus as at the moment they're a little soft. Obviously I wasn't there so there might have been a good reason!
I really like this, toe foreground and overall composition is beautiful and it's exposed perfectly. I'd have maybe cropped it to 16:9 and removed some of the sky as there's a lot of blue that takes up valuable viewing space. Good job cloning out the people I can't see where you've taken them out so you've done well!
It's nice to see something different from around Glencoe. Most of the shots along Rannoch moor feature either Loch Ba or Lochan na Achlaise heavily but the further afield lochs get left out so it's nice to see a wider view! I love the bold greens too, and Buachaille Etive Mor dominating the skyline in the distance <3
I really love this, so much that the overexposure around the sun doesn't even matter. It looks fantastic, I love the layers created by the raking light and it's composed really nicely. There's maybe a touch of a halo on the right hand side on the high contrast edges I suspect this could be rectified in lightroom with a little contrast adjustment.

I love the way you've used a shallow depth of field to throw the Gorse (yellow flowers) out of focus. It looks really good and is a creative way to shoot something different. I think it could maybe use a little bit of warming up as it's very blue, and it needs some clockwise rotation to straighten the verticals but aside from that it's really nice!
