Crowd and
Expert winner

This is a really beautiful image, the reflections are fantastic and I love the soft processing! The colours are nice, muted but they look great. I like the inclusion of the figure and the camels as it gives a good sense of scale. Overall a lovely shot and worth the win!

I really like the composition here, the glacier fed river looks great and the water movement is nice. It's nice to see a water shot that isn't a long exposure! That stormy sky is good and adds some atmosphere! Nice natural colours throughout too.

This is some pretty magical light! I like the way it's beaming through creating layers in the fog. I'd have maybe been tempted to crop it square though as the shadows are pretty overpowering and don't really add to the image overall!

This is a pretty cool image, I like the composition. It's a shame there's no clouds in the sky but that's not exactly your fault! It looks nice and sharp throughout and it's exposed well. I like the ring of light that's come through the hole onto the rocks too!

I like this as it's just simple but really effective. I love that it's just a no frills composition that doesn't have any distractions. I do think it's perhaps a little too bright, I'd have liked to have seen this with a bit more anger and mood!

I really love this, the light hitting the clouds is incredible and I love the way it's reflected in the sea. I think the little bit of headland was a good choice too, I'm glad you left that in to break the horizon up a little bit!

I really like this, there's just so much going on and everything looks so vast! It looks an incredible place to visit and photograph. The colours are really nice and the sunny weather has done you proud! I like the little rainbow in the bottom corner too!

This is a great reward for a long hike, what a spectacular waterfall! Yosemite is somewhere I'd love to visit with a camera, it looks incredible. I like the way you've composed this, the foreground looks good and works well to help frame the waterfall.

I like the bleakness of this, it really makes me feel cold. It's composed well, I like the leading line from the bottom right to the fence and the misty trees in the background look great. I love that it was just taken on a random forest walk too!

This is really beautiful, great colours and the water movement is perfect! It's composed well and has loads to keep me interested. I like the still water and reflections in the background and the autumnal colours really work well! Great job :)

Overall this is a pretty cool shot, I like the colours and the shallow depth of field look. The sky looks a bit strange, not sure if you've tried a sky swap or it's just overexposed but it's the only bit of the image that stands out as looking a bit off.

This is a great example of how a leading line can define an image. Had the road not been there winding through then I think this could have been a potentially boring shot but as my eyes are guided through the image there's loads of stuff to discover and keep my interest so great job!

This is gorgeous, I love this part of the world and this photo shows it off really well. It looks like a beautiful sunrise I'd have looked to have been there to see it. My only criticism, and this is just because I'm a sucker for reflections is that I'd have loved to have seen this from right down at the waters edge as a 50/50 reflection!

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’.

These are some pretty sexy reflections! I absolutely love shots like this, there's just so much going on that looks great. The clouds are nice, you've got light and shadows interacting and that mirror reflection! Well done this is a beautiful shot!

This is an epic waterfall! I'm glad you stuck around to get your shot as it's paid off. I'd maybe crop it a tiny bit from the right to remove that extra stream of water as I don't really feel like it add's to the image and distracts my eyes a bit!
