This is a nice image with a leading line running through it, the details are nice and sharp on on the fence posts where it really matters and I also like the ripples in the sand making for some extra interesting details with the shot..

To help make the image stand out a bit more, it is worth just removing some of the artefacts that can be seen in the sky using the clone/heal tool

I like this interesting image with its wide panoramic view running down the mountainside.

The details are nice and sharp on the boulders and I love how the distance is lost in the mist too, but you can just make out a path leading away into that mist, this is really well done.

I really love all the details in this image, but the large mural taking the stage works so well.

All the details are nice and sharp throughout the image, but a stand-out part of this is the final presentation with the edit and the framing done, I this really finishes the work so well

I really like the mist in this image, the way you just sitting on the road with the road taking you through the image with its leading line turning into a vanishing point works very well, the color is nice and moody in the edit and this helps set the scene very nicely. I really like the trees in the distance as they helped to contain the road and break up the horizon a little bit too.

This is a really strongly rich and great to see the competition, The light works so well and it helping set those reds out from the rest of the rock in the shot. The details are so rich and image the focus,being perfectly set is very evident to see. And the scenery in the background looks like missed rolling on the mountains just adds another dimension to the world who gives us real depth to help enjoy the image.

This is a really cleverly done photo, I like this circular hole and how you positioned it nicely within the frame, the details in that and I was a sharp that's great to see but I really like that you have some people in place to give it on the sense of scale this really helps the image storytelling.

Interesting image to have had entered in the competition, i love the golden light. The Shadows complementing the light so well. Like a choice to shot in portrait to match the slender feeling of the trees as they run through the depth of the image. Where I think there's room for a bit of improvement is showing the focus is nice and sharp and also just paying attention to some of the edges where some of the trees are coming into the frame.

This is a really quirky image and I love the depth that you can see everything from the water breaking at the bottom frame through the structure and to the distance through the valley. The focus really well done and covers in the image are also really nice to presented. Where I think there is room for improvement but it's hard to know about being there is where the water is going down this seems to be a little bit off center this could help improve the feeling of the image.

This is a really lovely shop of the Aurora, great to see something slightly different with it I love the strength of the display I love the fact the lines are taking this all the way through the frame. This helps to give a standard composition. Really well done and thank you for entering the competition

This is a lovely image and it sets a traditional postcard scene very well. Gorgeous it's fluffy clouds and blue color, this complements the greens of the field very well. The choice of positioning of the structures also works well like the group number three within this frame this strength to your work

This is great scene that's been shot here a nice moment of time as the deer by The waters edge doing their thing. I like how unfaze they are by your presence and you've managed to get the shot with the mountains and tree in the background being nice to lined up to give a good sense of depth within the image. Small room for improvement will be just to make sure that the fence post is on the left hand side is all in or out of the frame as this would have helped tidy it up a little bit.

a really lovely image with some good strong vibrant colours and some super-rich details. I like the use of the person to give some size perspective to the shot as well, this really helps to set the scene.

Capturing the mood of the clouds has also helped set the image apart too.

A really beautiful image with some stunning golden light as we captured in the clouds. Your exposure is really good with this which is alive the maximum amount of details to be captured. The focus is great as everything that you want to see is in detail. I like the choice for the composition with the sweeping beach going through the image up to the people.

I love this image with the rays of light coming from above and illuminating everything within your shot, it can be quite tricky to balance the exposure an images like this and it's great to see how well you've done it. The choice for black and white I think it's also helped to bring out the characteristics in this image stand out through it with it feeling really rugged and detail rich.

I really like how structured and uniformed this image is with the wind turbines forming a leading line going through the shot. The focus is nice and crisp on the images and the exposure works very well too. You captured a nice balance of golden light and the silhouettes really punch into the sky, such a great capture
