New Joiners - Landscapes #741

This image has some really good characteristics one of the strongest has to be the glass-like reflection on the water, but also you have captured the wispy clouds in the distance that really stand out in this image. The buildings on the left-hand side of the frame I feel are a little bit distracting, I think they do take away from the shot at the same time along with the branches which look a little bit untidy at the top of the frame. I think if you were to angle the shot around to the right a little bit this could have held but unfortunately, I don't know what was to the right, saying that, this is a really nice while taking Sharp and full of colour and Rich details

This is another really interesting image that has some good characteristics about it, one of the strongest parts is the shape and layering of the Valley as you're looking down it that you've managed to capture, plus there's also the mist rolling on the hills. To help improve your photography you could look into just being careful with the framing of the shot as in the bottom right-hand corner there's a brown bit of wood which is a little bit distracting.

Thank you very much for entering this

This is a really interesting image, I like the mountains in the background which does help break up the horizon. But for me, the standout feature has to be the salt which is all over the bits of wood in the foreground and the amount of detail you've managed to capture in those, but also how you have managed to make sure all the posts are well balanced across the image

What I also like about this is the extra context that you've given in your text which gives a lot of history around the photo and why we're looking at this image.

This is another really great shot and thank you very much for entering it I know this mountain well and it is great to see it in all this charm. What I really like is how you've gone for shooting it in portrait and you've allowed yourself to then get the height of the mountain and the clouds which are partly obstructing the mountain in the frame, this in a way is showing how high the mountain is. Another really good aspect of the shot is the detail that you have preserved in the foliage the trees and the rocks in the foreground of the shot which has added another nice element to this image which makes it stand down. Very good work indeed

This image is nice, I like how you've caught the waves crashing just in front of you, but also in the distance the mass of land with the green on top of it. These are some nice features in the photo. To help take your photography to the next level perhaps look to ensure that the horizon is completely straight as it is sloping down to the right a little bit, and also if you use a free photo editor on your phone you can perhaps use a little bit of a dehaze which will help just bring out the background where the green foliage is a little bit too hazy, this is going to be subjective but I think bringing out the details a little bit would really help improve this image. Thank you very much for entering the competition

This image is really nice it's got some good tones in the sky and it also has some beautiful light you've caught on the tower parts of the wind turbines. Capturing that blue hour and that golden hour in the shot is something I always love to get and the little bit of mist which is lingering on the land also adds to the shot and the dramatic feeling there. Just be careful with your horizon because to me it looks like everything's running downhill to the right and you need to make sure that the wind turbines are nice and straight, also I can see what you've tried with the foliage in the foreground but I think it's a little bit distracting as well sometimes having it removed maybe you get in closer to the image can help or sometimes just shooting above these things can also add the image so they're not included in the frame. Thank you for entering your lovely image.

This is a really nice photo it has some beautiful sky and you can see the shape of the boats being focused well in the sea as well. I like the sand and the shape that is taken, meaning the foreground feels really strong, but for me, the distracting bit is the beach hut, it feels a little bit cut into the frame and I want to see more of it but also the green tree at the top of the frame is also adding extra confusion to what is it and wanting to know more about that and it's taking away from the beautiful scene. All in there are some really strong components on this image but we always just need to just double check what is happening on the edges of the frame as these really helped to strengthen our work

I really enjoyed seeing this image when I was going through the selection. some nice characteristics about it would be the tones in the sky and then you then got the people giving some sense of scale standing on top of the sand dune.

You've also managed to get the nice light catching on the foreground and then also capturing the ripples in that sand, these are some really nice features of the image and it's great to see this in a selection. Very well done thank you for entering the competition

This is an interesting shot I had to a double-check to see exactly what it was, and it was only when I had done that I noticed what looked like a person, perhaps on a bike at the end of the jetty. I really like it when I find things like this in a photo, it definitely adds to the shot. There is some nice contrast and some nice details in the clouds and on the beach as well and I can really see they actually took the time to think about what you were photographing in this image, really well done and thank you very much for entering the competition

This is a really nice image and it has some good strong features to it such as the nice side light coming in from the left of the frame and the way the road on the left is running through the image. Then you have the wall running across the diagonal on the shot too, then you've got this really nice blue sky and some nice wispy clouds in it as well. All these components add up to something really nice in this shot. Just be careful with the framing overall as this will really help strengthen the shot on the right-hand side of the frame there's a tree which is being cut off and in the bottom left-hand corner with the rocks it would be nice to have this all-in-all out in the image I believe this will really help elevate your photography to the next level

A worthy winner, with the rich details in the mountains to the sloping golden light hitting on the right-hand side, then when you add the other element of the buildings giving the sense of scale which looks like cattle or people maybe walking along there as well and then when you then add in the well-formed moody clouds just giving another depth to this spectacular image. Thank you ever so much for entering this image into the competition

There all right cool there is some really nice technical information about this image that you have supplied and I can see the commitment has gone to making this image happen via it, very well done. The Ark on the Milky Way is really really nice I like how it fits into your composition from side to side. I also really like the little bit of light pollution on the left-hand side and what looks like the Lighthouse o something similar on the right-hand side, these really helped just to pull the image in and add a lot to this shot.

This is another great image very colourful and has some nice framing in it too. The standout feature has to be the sky but I also really like how you've managed to capture the ducks on the water and you've got the London Eye in the distance as well, this has really helped to set the scene. All of these elements along with the green foliage want you as a viewer to be able to be in this location and enjoy the view for yourself something that good photography should be able to do, thank you very much for entering.

This is another worthy top-10 shot. For me, one of the big things is the amount of detail that you've managed to capture, but I also like the fact that I can see the whole vista in front of me and I also like the snow and the crisp light on the foreground, this makes me feel cold when looking at this with the snow-capped mountains in the distance as well and I like that element of this image.

A consideration for improvement would be to not get the sun in the top right of the image as that is a bit of a distraction.

Thank you for sharing this photo with us I really like the composition the actual layout is very strong. I like the light as it's catching on some of the fields down below in the valley, this is one of the stronger parts of the image, I also like the clouds/mist hitting off the mountain and lingering in the valley below.

A good way to strengthen this image would be to just watch that foreground at the bottom of the frame where that tree or hedge is just clipping into the frame and also look into the temperature of the white balance and for a tint to the image, these small changes could help improve your work a lot.
