- This is a beautiful wild place and you have photographed it so well. A calm reflection from dreamland, soft misty tones and a lovely palette of colours set off the atmosphere. My eye is first held by the distant hills but then wanders around the banks of the lake picking up the details which slowly creep out of the half dark. Lovely photograph and this round’s winner. Well done!

- My name is Aldo Ruotolo and I'm Italian. I am really happy of this recognition and honored by your comment. This photo was taken in Scotland, in the Trossachs along the banks of Loch Ard during a misty sunset. Thank you very much!

- Wonderful highlights and pastel greens come from a clever exposure, the detail of the water from a fast shutter speed. You have seized the power of the ocean with this perfectly stolen instant, freezing the onslaught of these ocean waves. This is a wonderful shot of the sea, well done.

- A nice minimalist beach view where a long exposure has smoothed the waves and created these strong white lines. Dusk and a dark sky set off the snowy summit on this beautifully curved hill, the “blue hour” fixes the cold. Cool photo from a lovely place, well done.

- My name is Patrick FEREC, I live in France. Many thanks to the judge. I enjoyed very much this shooting session in Scotland, even if the weather was a little bit rough. Nearly alone on the beach, on Harris island, I appreciated very much the landscapes and the special light of january. CANON 5D Mark IV

- This is lovely. You have beautifully photographed the dawn mist flowing along the valley between these undulating hills, just touched by the stunningly warm first rays of sun. Nice panoramic capture and an early favourite.

- You have caught an unusual cool blue for the tropics very nicely with this clever under/over wish-you-were-here shot beneath the coconut palm…

- A stunning standing rock formation in the snow. You have given the rocks their deserved own space and a pleasing dimension to the whole. Nice.

- A lovely warm lakeside sunset and perfect reflection with all those lovely warm sunset colors. The island church anchors the eye effectively with its bold central position.

- This is a truly magnificent setting and you have caught the warm evening light. There are definitely the ingredients for a winning photo here but you could have found a better, less cluttered view point, perhaps from outside the bus? :-)

- This is a nicely framed and graphic shot with strong contrast. It is difficult to photograph a detail within a landscape while creating a harmonious composition. This is a good effort, well done.
