This whole scene this looks absolutely gorgeous, I like how you've placed the house just slightly off center but with it running through the middle of the frame on the horizontal plane, this just works really really well. Your control of the exposure looks perfect as does your focusing on the subject, I like I can near enough see individual branches on the trees and the texture in The rock.
Another great entry and it's great to see. You've got a good eye for the detail and the composition using the road as a vanishing point, but I can't help but notice in the top right hand corner it looks like there is something reflecting maybe from a filter or something, and also the crop looks like it could be sharper as well. So it could be worth checking that you're focus is really good prior to finish and taking your shot

Thank you for sharing your lovely image with us. I can see that you have a good eye for a composition, I like the sweeping curve of the bay that you've photographed and how you've also capped the movement in the waves, and also have a nice balance of the amount of sky versus land. This has made the image work really well, but unfortunately the phone camera has not captured the details as best as they could, but the strength of the composition helps the image a lot.
A nice strong image with a good sense of scale. I like the leading line of the water's edge running parallel with the grass for a percentage of the shot up to the durdle door rock itself. Your choice for portrait to capture more of the foreground and the sky has paid off well as it's cut out any distraction with the empty space that would have been if there had been more of the sea in the shot.
Another great reminder of the best camera is the one that you have on you, and it's great to see that iPhone been used to its full potential. The nice dynamic range between the foreground and the sky coupled with the detail rich rocks work so well. I like how your timing for the short has also allowed for some of the shadow on the land to be shown as well. Really good work
This is a very eerie looking photo I like it. I really like how you have preserved the highlights in the sunset and also a little bit of detail in the foreground. The clouds look full of life, but I'm fortunately some of the tops of the trees look slightly out of focus and the little bit soft. That being said though the clouds really do makeup for the charm in the shop with the mist lingering at grand level too.
The image you have submitted works really well I like how you've captured the last of that light on the top of the trees and also on the grass. I really like that transition from the golden to the blue sky as well, this really adds strength to the image. One thing I find a little bit distracting is the branches of the tree in the top left hand corner, I feel like the shot would be a lot stronger without those.
This is such a nice detail rich photo, I like how you've set your focus on the spire coming out from the town. This really pulls your eye into the detail on it and you then just enjoy looking around the rest of the scene. The flowers in the foreground and not overpowering and they're not obscuring the view of the church spire too much either, and I like you use of the exposure to to ensure that nothing is blown out or lost in shadow.
Really lovely scene that I could just imagine myself sat there enjoying everything that is in front of me. To help strengthen up the composition it may be in better to have got closer to the rocks that have the waves crashing around them and this would help cut out some of the less interesting rocks in the foreground. The details look nice and crisp in the rocks and the exposure looks good as well.
This is a really quirky looking photo, I like how you've gone for the minimalist look having the part of the peer just on the edge of the frame. Then the mist just takes up all the rest of the fray which just looks stunning. Just be careful when you're editing because the top of the structure looks like as a little halo from the Shadows and potential lead the clarity being pushed up a little bit too high, playing around with the settings could help correct this quite easily

Another great entry and it's nice to see nature at his best with your image. I like the presentation with the mountain edge filling the frame on the left and then the cloud rolling into the open space as well, I can only imagine how nice it would have been there to see this in front of me and you've done a very good job of capturing it
This is a really lovely shot and it's how I've imagined this area so I'm glad that you share it. I love the color palette with the golden brown's against the blue and then the silver of the metal just stands out against the sky so well. The grasses details a nice and rich throughout the shot and this really does add to the character of your work.
This is a great entry with some strong characteristics, I love the leading line dipping through the photo with the trees either side in full detail that you can see the branches. I also like the dramatic feeling in the sky this really adds to the character of the shot. Where does room for improvement is I would get the pillar in the left-hand side completely out of the frame comma and also just be careful with the highlights in the sky as that's a little bit blown out and could be controlled.
I really like the color in this image, it's amazing when sunset comes alive like it has for you with this shot. You're focusing skill is great there's so much detail to see. I also like the tree and the bits of wood that I just in front of it, but I find the CCTV camera a little bit distracting in the composition. You have a very good eye for composition and that we great to see more work from you.
Wow I just love this scene comma something I love just to be walking through and just enjoying in the morning sun. I like the composition and the framing with the trees on the right and the left, but also the texture rich details in the foreground running through the middle of the frame to the misty valley in the distance. The sun's not too overpowering but it's intensity is hidden by the branches really well, and this just adds to the warm feeling in your work.
