New Joiners - Landscapes #792

A really nice scene which looks really undisturbed, can't see any tracks running through the image from people skiing and also all the snow which is built up on the trees looks really nice and there's great to see that you've paid attention and got this within the frame. You exposure looks good as does the focus.

I like what you've done with this image it's great to have seen a nice rule scene being captured well. I do find the use of the depth of field with the flowers in the foreground slightly distracting because they're a bit too infocus, to me they feel like they just blocking the view, also there's a few sensor marks that I can see that could be easily tidied up just to help improve the image. Great use of the exposure though as you haven't let the sky burn out and also the horizon looks really well positioned to.

This is a really nice detailed shot which is helping to show what looks like a really interesting location. What's unfortunately caught my eye though is the water on the right-hand side of the frame does not look level, and this really catches my eye unfortunately. What works really well though is the detail that you captured in the boats, also the lining up of the boats too, this works really nicely.

This is a really moody looking scene and I like how you've also got weeds in the foreground really taking their place in the shot. You've got a really good balance of foreground interest and in the background with the cloud looking so stormy finishing off the scene very well. Really good capture for an iPhone photo.

A really like this scene here, I like how you've used the proportioning to split up the shot with a little bit of the water, as I'm guessing it lacked interest and then you've got this middle band with the mountains which looks good, and then having the clouds with the layering too helps build up the frame to help finish it. Focus looks good and it works really well as an image.

I really enjoy this image it feels cold and remote, also with there been no visible footprints in this shot this adds to that charm. I like how you positioned the main building just off center with the tree on the right hand third taking up a nice part of the frame. The only thing I would be mindful of is there a appears to be a little bit of banding in the sky and also there's a tiny bit of a branch right at the top of the frame, this would be worth cloning out just to help tidy the image.

A really great image that's been captured on a phone camera, the use of black and white as certainly elevated the mood within the shot. The buildings be lost in the Shadows works because the highlights also complement them where the light is hitting off of those. Then the central band of light with the darker a clouds above add to the charm of the image.

Another great entry for this round of the competition I like how you've caught that light coming in from the right hand side of the frame and the illuminating the mountains some of the side of the valley and the buildings too. The focus looks nice and sharp and the exposure control works very well to, you haven't lost those highlights in the clouds or in the snow and the same goes with the Shadows at the bottom of the frame.

Another nice entry for the competition with some beautiful colors in the sky which are kicking back into the water, this works really really well. Where I think there's room for improvement is getting rid of some of that jetty wood at the bottom of the frame, also I think the image just needs to be tipped up a little bit on the right hand side, as it seems to be sloping down a tad. Another piece that I like within the shortest high sharp the focus is as well this really adds to the image.

This is a great looking location and the like how you filled the frame with the castle and the mountains and the water to maximize the viewing of the whole scene. For me the color looks a little bit off in some aspects of the shot and it looks like the Shadows may have just been raised a bit too high. As you can see a haloing around some of the edges. But to short a blue hour that can be quite tricky as things get lost in shadow quite a lot, so to come away with an image is a job well done

A great scene and a really nice image, the rocks in the foreground and the grass and the mountains in the backgrounds are all nice and crisp of the focus being tac sharp, I also like how none of the exposure is too bright. Slight distraction with the image as the wire which is running across the water, and I think I would either have that fully removed by changing my composition or getting more of that into know what that is as I think this could really add to the image to help set the scene and the environment.

This is a really cute looking location and I like your choice for black and white to help set the scene. The positioning of the church in the middle of the frameworks nicely as it does with the spacing between the bush on the left, the church and then the tree as well full stop what I find a little bit distracting is the worn out grass and the front of the frame this is pulling my eye in a little bit too much and taking away from some more of the shot, nonetheless this is still a really nice image.

Thank you very much for entering the competition with this stunning image, I really like how you've captured the light just hitting the farm buildings in the middle of the shot, this pulls the eye in so nicely. None of the highlights of blown out and the shadows are also not lost as well. The proportion of the image also works great with about 1/3 of the illuminated foreground and two-thirds of the darker mountains and sky making up the rest of the shot.

This is a really nice image with the main structure being well positioned in the center of the frame, and the handrails running straight out to this and nice and straight to full stop to add to this the positioning of the structure being in the middle horizontally and vertically adds the strength. I like how you've also used the structure to hide the brightness of the sun this is a great trick to help catch a some of that dynamic light.

This is a really nice shot with some good layers in it, I see from your description that you went out and didn't shoot what you intended and it's great to see that you persevered and came away with some really strong work. And like how you control the exposure and the top left of the frame, and also some of the Shadows in the trees particularly at the bottom of the frame. The details and the cliff face and the vegetation look nice and strong to.
