New Joiners - Landscapes #795

A really nice open vista image, with some nice foreground interest in the flowers which then opens up into the mountain view of the lake and the mountains in the distance. Everything's nice and sharp in the image, this makes the work stand out. Where there is a little room from improvement would be just making sure the flowers are all in or out at the photo, as you can see some of the purple ones just poking out the edge of the frame.

I really like this image, it's telling a nice story of the farmed land with the hay bales, the cows off the left-hand side of the frame, then the trees and finally the mist rolling through the hills there seem to be at near enough the same level as what the photo was taken. Nice and sharp the exposure is also spot on, there's a nice balance of sky and land in the image too making the shot really stand out.

This was another standout image from those that were entered. The saturation maybe a little bit too much although I don't know if you've edited or not, but it does seem to be a little bit full of color. Where the image stands out though is the details and nice and rich on the person on the jetty and the mountains, and I also like where you've managed to get the exposure completely correct to allow for the texture in the clouds to stand out and The Shadows not to be lost in the image too.

This is a great image with some fantastic qualities, such as the detailed retained in the rocks and the foreground, and the little speckles of light you can see from the urban area in the middle of the frame comma and then also the sky adding another charming quality. The cross ads a great subject point to help bring the framing together and keep the whole shot balanced.

Another great image that has been done well, the whites on the waterfall have not been overexposed and the shadows are not lost either. The details a nice and rich throughout the frame and in particular the Moss on the rocks this really stands out well. I like how the water flows the top of the frame through the center and out of the bottom this works really well.

This is a great image which is proportioned very nicely. I like the 1/3 of the mountains and the two-thirds of the sky and the way the image with the mountains raises from the left of the frame up to the right, this just works really well. You're exposure control is spot on as you can see the top left hand corner whereas a bit brighter the details are not blown out.

Great image with lots going on in it. I'm loving the autumnal colors and how rich the details are within the whole of the shot. I like how you have the river flowing through and you have the road parallel to the left-hand side of the frame too, with the use of the road in the shot it gives you a sense of scale and this really adds to your work.

This image has some gorgeous light falling in from the left-hand side of the frame and it's just stunning. I also like how you've positioned the people in the center of the frame and have the footpath leading up to them, this works really well. To further help with the scene the ways crashing on the beach on the left also adds and then a nice dynamic to the shot.

This is a great composition and really sells the location well something that photography should be doing. I like your careful positioning of the foreground and the trees and that they're not intruding onto the bit of land within the water. For iPhone shop the details of fairly crisp although some of it looks like it's been lost in the clouds, but overall the image speaks for itself with the treatment that you've given it.

This is another really nice image with some beautiful light taking up the center of the frame and the amount of light falling off as we get to the edges creating and natural vignette. I like the balance of mountains versus sky but what really stands out is how well you've captured that detail within the sky by exposing more for that comma some real nice top quality work.

This is a great technically challenging image, I like how you manage to get the stones nice and sharp and the broken bits of sea defence, but most importantly the milky way it's so full of detail it really stands out well. The colours in the core of the milky way also help add to this image to , very well done and thank you for entering the competition.

This is a really nice image with some great textures and you've shown some good control over the exposure between the rock the sky and the foreground. Where is a little bit of room for improvement is with the bottom right hand corner of the frame, that bit of dead tree I find distracting, it would be good to have excluded this from the shot.

This is another great composition with an ice balance of foreground and background. The details in the trees on the other side of the lake look really good, but where there's rue for a little bit of improvement is the ridge of the mounting on the right hand side is displaying some chromatic aberration and this could easily be removed in post. That being said the composition is nice and strong.

I really like your low down perspective of the structure. Shooting it later into the sunset as also allied for some nice tones in the sky, dark blues on the right and a bit of that golden light on the left, this helps to keep the balance in the shot. You support rates is well suited to the image but one thing I am finding distracting is in the reflection there is a very light gray line which I think is pulling the eye away a little bit.

Really beautiful composition with some really nice rich details on the grass in the sand dunes following through onto the rocks and even into the sky. I like how your exposure has worked really well, but I think the rocks on the other side of the bay seem a little bit dark and could do with being edited a little bit if you were inclined, but all in the image really stood out from the entries in this round of the conversation.
