New Joiners - Landscapes #711

I really like this, it's a really different take on such a popular spot that I can't help but love it. It's framed really well and I like the use of the shallow depth of field. Good colours and the vignette looks great too. Nice job and congrats on the win.

I love this as it's just so simple but looks fantastic. The colours work beautifully and although the composition is busy it doesn't feel cluttered, organised chaos! It's exposed well and feels balanced with no distractions. I'd maybe avoid using f22 as it can soften images on occasion, I think f16 would have been perfect here :)

I'm desperate to go here so I've always got a soft spot for photos of it, especially when the suns out and the colours in the lake stand out like this! It's composed nicely and has no distractions, a nice take on a classic shot.

I like this, it's got nice bold colours and the subject itself is really good. The white water is a bit overexposed but with a phone it's difficult to meter correctly for this so there's not really much you can do about it. I'd maybe dial down the vignette a tad and darken the whole image a little.

This is a really beautiful image, I'm not surprised it's your favourite. It's not easy to compose shots like this in the dark either so well done. It's sharp where it needs to be and you've done a good job of managing the highlights from the lighthouse!

I'm not sure what's happened when this has been uploaded but it looks pixelated in the sky, it doesn't look like a processing fault but definitely looks strange. I really like the composition here, it's got loads to look at and I love the way my eyes are guided through the photo front to back by the valley.

I think you made the right decision shooting from further back as the foreground looks great and really adds to the image. I love moody shots like this, they're so much more atmospheric than a boring blue sky! Nice processing too, it looks very natural!

This looks like a wonderful place, and you've got it on a gorgeous day. The only thing that puts me off this photo is the wooden post in the foreground. I'd maybe have taken a step or 2 forward to exclude it. Other than that it's a really nice image :)

For a phone shot this is pretty epic, the crepuscular rays from the sun look really beautiful! It's difficult to capture the entire dynamic range on a phone so the foreground is maybe a tad dark but there's not really much you could have done about that! Nice job!

I love your commitment to getting this shot even down to getting your wife to counter balance the kayak! It's composed nicely and you made a great decision to get your camera close to the water as it looks fantastic. These icebergs just look so surreal, I'd love to go there at some point. Thanks for entering this, it's really beautiful.

This is composed really well, it's sometimes difficult in snow to find a clean shot that doesn't look cluttered or that has enough interesting elements to keep you occupied but this looks good. I like the used of long exposure on the water too, It looks to be just the right amount as well to retain some texture.

I'm a big big fan of centre jour sun bursts, especially through trees! This looks great, I love the contrast between the snow and the colourful trees. It's composed well, the long shadows work as a great lead in and it feels very natural. I really like this shot.

This is a really beautiful shot, I absolutely love the muted colours and dark mysterious look. I'm glad you resisted the urge to lighten the shadows and keep it dark. The natural frame created by the leaves looks fantastic too and the mist gives it that extra edge. Lovely work.

This makes me smile as it reminds me of hiking in the Dolomites in Italy! It's a pretty straightforward shot, exposed nicely and nothing really distracting. I don't feel like there is a definitive focal point, try looking for a big rock or maybe a small tree or shrub to anchor your foreground.
