Iceland is certainly one of the first places to come to mind when imagining wild landscapes and this image perfectly demonstrates why. We love the sense of movement in the foreground grasses, suggesting a wind-swept vista, and the way the mountains appear out of the mist. A classic, yet theatrical shot. Well done!

Another Icelandic scene and one which has a very cinematic quality. There's more than a hint of sci-fi to it (and maybe a certain fantasy series featuring dragons?). The lighting is superb and the lone figure really adds a sense of isolation and drama. A wonderfully theatrical scene which is truly wild.
What a dreamy image! We really like the natural frame these trees form, creating a tunnel like effect. There's a very alluring quality to both the light and colour, while the composition encourages us into the frame. A very well seen and put together landscape images, which is wild yet intimate. Congratulations.
The sense of wildness and desolation is very evident in this composition, which makes great use of colour contrast and exposure to enhance the stark feeling of the landscape vista. There is an otherworldly quality which proves that what you leave out of the frame is as important as what you include. Well done.

Put on some good walking boots, pack a coat and head out to shoot a little further from civilization. Focus on weather events and dramatic landscape features, like waterfalls, cliffs, coastlines, rolling sand dunes or misty forests. Take us somewhere only dedicated photographers might go to shoot!
