New Joiners - Landscapes #733

This is a fantastic view, there's loads to look at and the landscape suits a panoramic shot well. You've maybe overprocessed it a bit as the sky looks unnatural and it's quite contrasty. I think with a lighter touch in editing this has potential to be a really lovely shot!

This is a very pleasing photo to look at. I love the way the layers soften as we go back through the image. It's composed really well although I'd probably crop it to just above the fence in the foreground as I think this element somewhat spoils a really beautiful photo.

I love slot canyons, they're fascinating and just look so alien! If I had a slight critique for you with this it would be to lighten up the right hand side as the shadow is quite dominating. It probably wouldn't take much to lighten it in Lightroom or Photoshop but will make a big difference to the look!

As soon as I saw this I knew it was a top 10 image, I've been in the same place and experienced a lightning storm over the Sassolungo as well and it's definitely a sight to behold. This is composed really well, you've been fortunate with the shape of the lightning as it's helped to create a really nice frame. Nice job capturing a difficult shot!

This is a really clever shot and looks fantastic. I love the colours and it's composed well especially with being shot through a shade. It's nice to see something a little different as well, we see a lot on conventional landscape images in these contests so it's good to see someone pushing some boundaries!

Alpine views like this are epic, and almost always are the result of a long hike or have some effort involved to get them. It's composed well, exposed nicely and you've used the path cleverly as a lead in. Overall this is a lovely photo to look at.

I really like this, it's an unconventional landscape image but it works nicely. It's exposed well, composed nicely and the depth of field is pretty good for the focal length used. I'd maybe have been tempted to shoot this at about f8-f11 and be satisfied with the background being a bit softer as I think for the type of shot it is it'd work nicely!

I really like this, it's got loads to look at and keep me occupied. I love the unbroken snow, the icicles and the waterfall look fantastic too. I'm a fan of the bird being included too as it gives a sense of scale to a shot that would be difficult to scale otherwise.

This is such a cool photo, I love the composition as it's just a no messing about bang look at this view shot. Shots like this make you feel small and insignificant as they should, mountains like this are unforgiving and just look spectacular! Nice job!

This looks like a great place to hike! I like the composition, it has an illusion of symmetry created by the central path and although technically it shouldn't work it really does! It's exposed well and has loads to look at too. Great job.

Banff is on my list of go to places for the next year or two, I', desperate to run a photo tour there. This image just makes me want to be there now! I love the way the dramatic mountains just plummet into the lakes and the colour of the water is just beautiful!

This is an epic shot, everything about it is beautiful! I love the layers, the way the shadows lessen as you look further into the image and the low mist just looks amazing. The colours are gorgeous too, I love the strong orange hues throughout.

An easy choice for the number one slot, reflections are my favourite subject and this ones absolutely spot on. I love the colours, and the fact that the reflections has a tiny few ripples in really makes this for me. It makes it look alive rather than a perfect mirror. Really nice shot!

I really like this, it's a great representation of a typical Icelandic scene. grim, stormy weather with the occasional blast of sun to break it up. It's composed well, nice and sharp and has nice colours. The vignette is maybe a bit heavy as the top left looks too dark but that's easy fixed!

I really like this.I've been to Lofoten 5 or 6 times now and still don't really have a shot of this waterfall that I like. It's always either too snowy or doesn't have enough water in for a good shot! I like your composition here, well done for having the patience to wait for a break in the cloud too!
