Congratulations. This image instantly stood out to me. The composition and narrative are great. The colour tones and utilizing a complimentary colour spectrum really pulls your eye to the image. The powerlines pull your eyes across the image helping to show where the boy and his horse is headed. Great image and congrats on the win.

Great image! It's hard to capture a good "at-the-sun" image. But here it's not overpowering, it's a great balance. Love the silhouette of the plane and how it's turning to point at the sun itself, that really helps the viewers eye move in the image. Post processing and photoshop are clean and not overused which I love. The colour palette shares the same tones and hues and really helps amplify the silouette. Great job.

What can I say about this image? I love it. It's great! Compositionally, colour, and exposure wise. The choice of subject and location are great and help to isolate the subject. Point of view is also great here. It feels like the strawberry greenhouses could go on forever. Photoshop and post-processing are spot on, not too much, nice and clean. Great work

Love the narrative of this shot. I really like how you exposed for the fading cliffs beyond the subject, versus the sun. Colour choice and clean photoshop/post-processing really help this image stand out among the others. This is a great travel/adventure image, it really captures those moments of why people set off on a hike/trip. Great choices all over. Congrats.

I like the placement of the point of focus (the hut). In my opinion, the horizon feels a bit tilted clockwise, maybe try tilting it back counter-clockwise a bit. The HDR effects I feel are a bit much here, I would bring those down a bit to give it a more realistic feel. Great use of colour.

Great capture. The tones and contrast are great. Landscapes can often over utilize HDR effects and glad to see that's not the case here. The warm hint coming from the setting/rising sun adds the touch of warmth the image needs. Great point of focus. Good clean post-processing. I bet it was a great moment to capture.
