This is an incredible view, I've been meaning to travel to Madeira for some photography for a while but I've never managed it yet. The layers in the mountains look amazing, I'll bet at sunrise/sunset this view is out of this world!

I really love everything about this. The composition is fantastic, I like the way the road leads in from the corner and the trees naturally frame the house. The processing really suits the scene too, the orton effect looks great on snow!

I really like this, the warm sunlight balances nicely with the cold shadowy water. It looks good as a panoramic as well, you've done a nice job of getting it all in and level. I'd maybe have liked to have seen a full reflection of the buildings but I don't know if it was possible so it's not a big issue!

Lupins are really beautiful flowers, and this looks like a great spot to shoot them! I like the colours, I'd maybe have been tempted to get lower down and amongst the flowers to emphasise the colours etc. The sky looks nice with some great clouds too.

This is a really nice simple scene. You've done a decent job of it, I'd have maybe got a little closer to get past the fence in the foreground as it's a little distracting. You could probably clone it out in photoshop with a little care!

Both the water movement and the colours in this are pretty much perfect. I love the muted greens and long exposure as they really make this feel like a scene from a movie. The vignette works well too, helping to guide my eyes into the centre. Nice job!

These are some pretty epic reflections! I like the way the splash of blue from the boat breaks up the lush greens. The rocks in the shallows really look good too, they make for a lovely foreground. I'd maybe crop a small amount off the top just to bring the horizon a little closer to the centre but that's just a personal choice!

The light in this is incredible, I've had a look at this in photoshop and with some small tweaks this image is completely transformed into a dramatic and dynamic photo. I'd be happy to share a version with you if you get in touch. It's got loads of potential to be a very strong image!

I'm trying to figure out the angle of where you took this from, It's gotta be up at the Keswick end of the lake somewhere to get the Lodore Falls hotel in at that angle. Regardless, it's a lovely photo and it's nice to see something new from a very well shot area!

What a great view, I like that you've thought about your composition and got relatively low down to the water as it makes a huge difference to the look of the photo. The water looks nice, the dappled sunlight is good to!

This is a beautiful view, I love the way the sea and land zigzag around each other and the different colours compliment each other really well. The sky holds plenty of interest as well, loads of nice clouds and the light throughout is great.

This is a great view, composed well and loads to keep me occupied. The colours are nice, it's exposed well and the layers throughout are fantastic. I like the strong sunlight on the foreground grass contrasts well with the moody sky and hazy background!

I really like this, minimalist shots aren't a strong point of mine so I can appreciate the effort that's gone into it. I like the black and white conversion too, it's bold and contrasty and there's detail in the shadows which sometimes gets missed. Nice job!

Welcome to Photocrowd’s ‘Landscapes’ contest for New Joiners! These contests are a chance for new members to introduce their photography to the community, and get a taste of how Photocrowd contests work. They can be entered by anyone within their first 28 days of joining Photocrowd. After 100 images have been submitted the contest closes and the Crowd will start rating the images. The Expert Judge will also be judging the images and writing reviews at the same time. All the winners, both Crowd and Expert, will be announced after 3 days of judging. Make sure you also check out our two other New Joiners contests - ‘People’ and ‘Animals’.

This is awesome, it'd hard to believe that places like that actually exist! Such a cool photo too, showing it all off. It's exposed well, composed nicely and has a lot to look at. I like the muted colours and the inclusion of the 2 figures does a wonderful job of giving some perspective of the sheer size of it all!
