A nice image with a sense of scale with the temple really adding to all of that. To help add to the image details you could try to explore adding some localised contrast to the top half of the image as they will start to add a bit more depth, such a stunning location and great to see your take on it.

A really nicely composed image with a very small person giving a nice sense of scale to a fabulous shot. The trees you are standing within make the frame work well and also help to add to the sense of elevation for the shooting position

A really interestingly composed image that has been exposed just as well. What stands out for me the most is the careful exposure of the snow and it not being blown out and preserving those details. Tips for future compositions like this would be to try not to cut the sides or top of the tree off in the frame though, this will really help strengthen the composition.

A really nicely composed image with a great use of black and white for the image, the rays of light bursting out of the clouds add a lot to the image as well, very well presented and balanced with the use of the light.

A nice image with a good effort at shooting a bit of astrophotography, it is not an easy subject at all, something many struggle to get results somewhere near as good as you have, very well indeed. I look forward to seeing further attempts at your astro work.

A really nicely composed image and a very interesting subject matter. I like how you have not got any of the balloons on the extremes of the frame so it does not feel cluttered, thus making the composition feel well thought out.

A nice simple image with a good balance of sky and foreground and I really like that, sometimes we can overcomplicate things and this just reinforces we sometimes need to step back and keep it simple. I like the careful consideration for the horizon being level and also taking centre place.

Such a great composition and one that many other photographers have studied due to the work created by Ansel Adams, it is good to see people looking into the work of the greats of the arts and applying their own take on that.

A composition where I could see myself standing and taking as I love this time of day, the magical colours of sunrise and sunset are just perfect and I like how you have managed to gather all of this whilst getting some of the details of the coast.

A lovely composition where people can feel themselves staging and feeling the environment they are standing in, this feels like a bit of a cold day and I like how capturing the chimney smoke has helped to add to this feel.

A really nicely exposed image and the focus is nicely worked as well, something that can be very hard in such a high-key environment. I like how you have not blown out the highlights and have kept all the details that are possible have been kept, really great work.

A really nice image with some gorgeous clouds rolling over the hills that you have captured very well., the layers you have running through the image with the different heights of hills with trees popping out of the mist, it just works so well.

A really nicely exposed image and the focus is nicely worked as well with the frost on the foreground captured looking really good and with the trees in the background not being lost by the depth of field. I also like the reflection on the water fitting between the foreground too.

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’.

A really nicely composed image and some very nice colour grading to help add to the shot. There is a nice balance of the amount of lake you have got in the image and also a good amount of sky to help with the strength of the competition.
