These trees are nuts, every time I see them they amaze me as they just look so alien. This is composed pretty well although the trees are maybe a tad tight in the frame. However, I wasn't there so don't know if it was possible to shoot it a little wider!

i like this, it's a nice simple straight forward composition and there's noting distracting. The water movement is good, and it's exposed well. F32 is an interesting choice of aperture, although I suspect it was due to a lack of ND filter for the water? Still, it looks nice :)

Anglesey is a lovely place to be, and Llandwyn island is a proper little hidden gem. I've been here a few times and it's a great place to photograph. When you're shooting at the coast, make sure you keep your horizon level as it makes a huge different to the look of your image, that's the only thing I'd change here!

I think this is somewhere I'll need to plan a visit too, those coloured buildings look great. I like the composition here, I think maybe at sunrise/sunset with some awesome colour this would be a fantastic spot. Thanks for entering this, it's really nice.

This is a pretty cool image, I like the composition and the water movement. It looks like you've maybe focused a bit too far into the image as the foreground is soft even with a narrow aperture. I'd probably not stop down any further than F16 but it looks like your focus point was on the stack when it should be on the foreground rocks for a shot like this :)

This is a really nice shot, I like the composition and the colours are lovely. It's got a lot to look at but doesn't look busy or cluttered. Bizarrely, I have only one place saved as a pin on google maps in the USA and this is it, it's just so unusual!

I like this, looks like it could be a setting for lord of the rings or similar. A nice opportunistic moment, sometimes these are the best. I love Norway, i spend a fair bit of time in Lofoten and the landscape is very similar! I like the shallow depth of field, it's nice to see something different in a landscape shot

What an epic sky, I love how there's just no need for anything else in this photo as the sky just dominates and looks incredible. I really love mammatus clouds, they're just so unusual. This was an easy choice for number 1, well done.

Passo Giau is one of my favourite places to visit, so many great views from the top and it's a really nice place to spend some time! I like the wide view you've shot here it really shows it off well. The sky had loads of interest too and the colours are lovely. Nice job :)

This is a pretty photo, the frost on the trees looks fantastic and I love the low lying mist. I'd maybe look at cropping this to a 16:9 ratio or similar to remove some of the sky and snow at the bottom as it feels like all the interest is in the central band if that makes sense!

Ordinarily, I'd say that the shadows are a bit too deep and could do with a bit more detail however with such an iconic peak taking centre stage I don't think that it'd be fair to say. The glow on the peak looks spectacular and what a beautiful sight to see!

I love a nice reflection shot! I think the only thing I'd change on this from a compositional point of view is to crop out the thin sliver of seaweed at the bottom. I think it'd make the image look a lot cleaner and emphasise the great reflections!

This is an epic view, I wish you'd said where it was!! I love shots like this, so much to look at and take in and the mountains look fantastic. I'd maybe have shot it at a narrower aperture to get the immediate foreground a bit more in focus but apart from that it's pretty nice.

This is a pretty cool shot, no frills composition and nothing really to cause any distractions. It's got nice colours and the reflection is lovely. I love shots like this, the seaweed is maybe the only thing that could potentially be described as annoying but it's not too noticeable and doesn't really spoil it!
