This is a clear winner for my challenge in my opinion. What beautiful clear colours and the way you wrote out your composition really sat with me. Haha.. Anywho, I am so glad you entered this! Amazing use of the "rule of three" for your subject. I also really enjoy how there is not too much going on in the sky so it doesn't take away from the subject. but it isn't exactly a clear day either. All over this is a superb image!

Wow! How incredible is this!? I can totally empathise the feeling of awe these people have being in front of all of that powerful water. So awesome! I really enjoy the lack of colour contrasting against the vibrant subject. It really changes the whole composition of the image. I'd imagine if it were all colour, the subject would become the waterfall. But this way, the subject and whole idea behind the image is solely on the fun the people are having. Love love love

Not only is this insanely beautiful, but a fantastic fit for this challenge as those gorgeous red tones underneath the waters surface are a rarity to see! Wow! Immaculate sharpness, vibrancy, and placement in your image as a whole. This is just so pretty to see. I would love to see this in person! I can see this location has done well in the crowd voting also and I can clearly see why!

Wow, this is simply an awesome image. Looks like it could have been taken on another planet. The wildlife create a completely different tone than if they were not there and it works amazingly. I enjoy the low saturation, it suits this so well. Just stunning. Thank you for entering.

These weather conditions are a great way to captivate this landscape. You have a great eye! The leading lines really pull the eye to take in the image as a whole. I really enjoy the contrast between the lush green and the dead grass. Such a stunning image.

This image is amazing in so many ways, wow! Not only have you well captured this interesting landscape, but timed the wildlife to merge in so well. Fog can be so difficult to get right and you can see it so clearly in this shot! The vibrancy of those rocks despite the weather is really beautiful. I just reeeaalllly enjoy this image so much. Thank you for joining my challenge

Amazing contrast between the different orange tones and the snow. It’s almost like the warm and cold co-existing together. A remarkable landscape and great capture of it. The patterns the snow make on the rock edges are so satisfying and interesting to see. Thank you for entering my challenge.

Oh this is soooo beautiful. Simplicity in its best form. How fantastic is that contrast between the smooth motion blur and the rough seas in the back! I really enjoy seeing the glow in areas from the sun, really brightens up the image. I noticed in your story that trying something different for a seascape was a challenge for you. But man you perfected it! This is truely a different seascape image and I’m so glad to see it. Thank you for entering my challenge.

Wow what a windy day! That wave formation is just fantastic. A brilliant idea for this masterpiece to be in b/w. Such a beautiful and breathtaking photo. I really enjoy how the man contrasts against the wave not just by motion (still vs moving) but by his dark appearance against the white wash. Well done!

This has got to be one of the most interesting shot of a lionfish I have ever seen. The way you've captured it underneath the cloud and the water. So cool! Makes me think "There's plenty of fish in the sea, but they react to me like they do a lionfish" hahaha. Amazing vibrant colours despite the gloomy weather. Even the bridge coming in changes the shot completely in such an awesome way. This is wallpaper worthy easily. SO beautiful

The beauty, placement, and detail captured in this image is so impressive. It really advertises the beauty of phone photography and truely emphasises that the only important camera is the one in your hand. Stunning image, thank you for entering my challenge!

Absolutely stunning! The way you placed the windy road as the centre of the image is just brilliant. You have a wonderful and artistic eye for “top down” style photography. The landscape itself isn’t what makes this interesting, it’s the way you were able capture it at this angle and include the length of the windy road.

Wow how awesome is that land! Must have been amazing to see in person. I love seeing the fog in the distance as it helps you feel like you are there on a cold gloomy morning. Thank you for capturing and entering such a beautiful image. It has a stunning moody tone.

These textures are a way to my heart! I’m so glad to see this image as I can see you notice such beauty in our burnt country. The burnt and red tones trickling into the greens are so pretty to see. Such gorgeous colours. Thank you for entering.

Beautiful capture. I love how you under-exposed it to boost the colours and detail. I wonder if that was achieved through a lense filter, or weather conditions. Amazing abstract textures throughout which create a beautiful seascape. Thank you for entering.

This is an amazing photo and for many reasons. I would absolutely love to know the story behind capturing this! You have done an amazing job at keeping the detail in yet still showing all the fog. Incredible contrasting colours. Thank you for entering

Amazing eye for where you have placed your camera. The fence used as a leading line to take us right onto your subject. Incredible work. This is an amazing fit for my challenge. Such an awesome and unreal scenery. Thank you for joining my challenge!

To have such a stunning location photographed with out of the box thinking to allow it to become even more breathtaking, takes a talented artist. Just pure blissful and so interesting. Thank you for entering, I admire this one a lot! I can almost feel the warmth on my skin

Amazing fit for this challenge! The landscape itself isn’t too unusual but it’s the way it was captured which makes it so unique and interesting. Really pushes just how beautiful a beach can be under the night sky. How gorgeous are those white glows in that water? Thank you for entering this wonderful image.
