New Joiners - Landscapes #743

A really beautiful photo with some great aspects of all the main elements. It is detail rich, full of emotion and tells a story well, but most importantly it makes me want to be there with my own camera. The edit to the image is really well done with the greens and browns in the foliage and the blues in the water complimenting each other.

A really good image with the details in the shadows highlights preserved and looking really good. I like the choice of aspect ratio as well, this really pulls your eye into the horizon and it's structures coming out of the water. The cloud on the top of the frame also helps to balance the image and creates a nice frame for the image.

This is a really nice image, has some good qualities about it such as we really nice and details along with the well-balanced exposure allowing for the foliage and for the trees to show up well. Where there is a little room for improvement, try just watching the corners of your frame where there's a little distraction coming in in the top right and the bottom right hand corner with something that is just caught the edge of the frame ensuring that these are either zoomed in a little bit to a life of them or potentially cloned out this can really help to improve the final presentation

A really interesting photo, there's some really strong characteristics in here including the abundance of light the shape of the mountains and also you've captured and retained the detail in the clouds very well too. I find the bottom left hand corner where it's a little bit of dark and I find it a little bit of a distraction in the image, but overall you've got a really nice shot here which captures a moment very well.

Another good image there has been entered into this competition. Some of the stronger qualities of this image are the good attention to detail in the rocks, and also a good exposure that has been the set to allow to show the movement of the water with the use of the long exposure. The image feels well balanced with the waterfall placed in the middle of the frame, and the autumnal colours to the top of the frame balancing out each side. Thank you for entering competition.

This is a really nice image the golden side light landing on the mountain and all the all the trees along with the other foliage, this really sets this image up well. The detail is really rich with your sharp focus, and you gave done well to preserve the light in the sky and details within the clouds. Top work and thank you for entering.

I really interesting composition it's all good to stand that qualities. One of the strongest qualities I think will be the use of black and white along with the harsh light that you've managed to control really well. The placing the people in the frame gives a sense of scale and also help set the scene as. Making good choices like you have in work is key for helping us to tell a story and communicate exactly what is happening, I really like the way you've done this.

This another really interesting entry, I like how you captured the little pool of light on the shoreline and also have retained the details there as well. The exposure is really well balanced in both the sky and in the reflection. Where there is a little room for improvement will be to consider the placement of the reflection in the water, as currently it is cut off partially by a rock and I find this quite overpowering in the shot, as I'm as expecting to see a mirror reflection and part of it is obscured by this. That being said though, the image is still strong and thank you very much for entering into the competition.

I really like the way you have shot this long exposure, you can see that you've given it some consideration for the framing using the arch in this shot. The colour grading you have applied has also worked and added to the image, and I like the positioning of the main detail of the arch being in the middle of the frame, this gives a good balance between the water and the sky allowing for all of this to work and flow well with your work

This is a really good image with beautiful lights I like how you've managed to capture the golden glow on some of the ice I'm guessing what might be the frozen foliage. You can't help but feel cold when looking at this image, but you can also feel that warmth coming in from the left of your shot and getting that transition of the golden hour and blue hour has really helped this image stand out well.

This is a really nice technical image, I like the way you have chosen to shoot it in portrait to help with the frame. The timing with the bit of frozen foliage in the foreground has really added to the image, this has broken up the whole frame and then the choice of again shooting a portrait running with the height of the trees has added to the depth of the shot, this is a good way of cutting out some of the clutter there may be to the side of the frame if that was the case and it has worked very well.

I really like the subject matter in this image, the ship is nicely lit and been illuminated by the light, there is a lot of good details which have been preserved and I love the whole scene that you have created with your work. Everything that should be tack Sharp and in focus is and much the same with the highlights and the shadows are preserved very well. Thank you very much for entering this image into the competition.

Thank you very much for entering this image into the competition, it's a very well taken shot and also the editing is really nicely done as well. One of the great things about the image is the winding track taking you through to some of the lovely details of the trees, the mist lingering in the shot and going further into the distance is preserved very well and this really helps to set the scene and tell a story.

This is another great top 10 image. The choice for portrait for the orientation has worked really well and I like this story has been told with the image, the elevated vantage point has given a good point of view to help show how rugged the area is. The the details are really rich in the shot and the colour grading is done really well too, thank you very much for sharing your work with us in this competition.

A really well composed photo, I like the upright being correct on the structure on the right hand side of the frame, this has been very well done. Then I started to notice some smaller details like the birds flying around, these are nice little bits to add to the image to help make it stand out more, the highlights are not blown out and the shadows are not underexposed these are other good elements to always make a well done image.
