Congratulations on the win! This is a pretty spectacular view, and to have shot it from a moving vehicle is pretty impressive. The mountains look fantastic and I like the black and white conversion. There's a small amount of overexposure in the clouds but overall it's a really nice shot with plenty to keep me occupied!

These are some nice reflections! I love the low mist on the water, it always makes for a good photo. I'd maybe look at cropping this to a 16:9 ratio as there's a lot of sky that doesn't necessarily add to the photo. I think a soft vignette would look nice here too!

This is fantastic! The water movement is perfect, I love the use of long exposure to create the misty look, it really suits this photo. I'd maybe crop a small amount of the dark rocks from the foreground as they are a bit dominating but that's just a personal preference it's still a great image!

This is awesome, the light rays coming in look really cool and contrast with the dark greens well. I like the composition, it's got plenty to look at and I feel like I want to step into the photo and explore. Great job!

I like this, it's a great view and the colours are nice. It's composed pretty well although I'd probably lose some off the top to make this more of a 3:4 ratio. There's a lot of sky that's not really adding any value to the rest of the image. The vignette is a tad heavy too.

I really like this shot. It's so simple but really effective. The change in blue is very striking. The boat could have maybe been placed a little further into the frame as it's a bit close to the edge. I still like this image, it's different!

This is a pretty epic sky, full of drama and anger! the processing is maybe a tad heavy as the blacks are very deep but it still looks good! I love skies like this, they photograph so well. Nice job.

This is mega! It looks like it's been taken from a plane! Photos like this always amaze me, that places like this exist on earth and can be visited. You've composed this well, I love the broken symmetry caused by the ridge and the vista is just incredible. Thanks for entering this!

I love the composition here, the wind turbines are a great lead through the image and overall it feels very balanced. There's a bit of overexposure in the sky where the sun is but realistically you're never gonna be able to avoid this. I think you've done a good job of processing it to tame it!

I like this, it's nice and simple but the light is great and the low mist makes it special. I'd have liked to have seen it shot a tad wider to get all of the right hand tree in as it's a bit close to the edge of frame. Keep an eye on the horizon level too, it's sloping to the right a tad and could do with being levelled! :)

This is a nice view that's not often seen in a photograph. I spend a lot of time in the lakes and I've not seen this shot before. It's composed nicely and there's nothing distracting, it's evenly exposed too. Nicely done.

This shot reminds me of why I don't really like the summer, winter is so much prettier! Ordinarily, I'd say that power lines are a nuisance but as these lead you through the photo they actually add to it. I like the way you've processed this too.

You've caught some pretty epic still reflections here, they look fantastic. The colours are nice throughout and it's composed well. I'd maybe clone the white marks in the bottom right out as they're a little distracting but aside from that it's a really nice image.

This is a lovely photo, I like that you've included so much water and haven't gone for the long exposure look either. It looks really powerful and you've definitely achieved what you set out to! The colours are really nice throughout too and it's composed well!
