  • A well executed and most pleasing simple composition with a lovely warmth. Your play with lines is so effective, the clump of trees tip the balance. Beautiful photograph, well done you win this round.

  • Well, so much has happened to this photograph since it came out of the camera that i cannot award the top spot, we do like pictures largely made on the ground. But the resulting image is so unique, the composition quite beautiful and the smudgy effect does suit this picture. Well done, your image is remarkable.

  • It is always nice to see monochrome entrees, your tonal work is lovely, the layers and balance of your composition too.

  • Another stunning drone view, the black line of the road cutting the picture in two. You have a worthy collection, well done.

  • You have managed to portray the wonderful still atmosphere of this autumnal lake side so very well. The mist separates the near from the far enhancing the contours of the vegetation, the lowlight colours are beautiful. My kind of shot, thank you :-)

  • Many thanks for judging. I captured this little lake in the early hours at autumn in the North of the Black Forest Nationalpark in Germany. I arrived in the dark with strong fog nearly 6am and stayed there until noon. The lake ist called "Ellbach" lake. It is very small, boggy and in the middle is an island with birches, surrounded from firs trees. I visited many times this place to capture this mystic foggy mood with my Sony A7III, Sony FE 24-105 with Tripod. I photographed a whole series for hours.

  • This is very well done, the composition, the cold atmosphere, the lines, the vast northern seascape. It just doesn’t have that original spark to scoop the prize.

  • Beautiful colours and shapes as seen from above turning this scene into a beautifully textured canvas. Lovely, well done.

  • Here is an engaging photograph. Once again little is more. The sailing boat is just where it needs to be, the lines on the sea contrast beautifully with the soft detail in the sky. Nice sensitive work, well done.

  • This is very nice. You have caught the lovely light and the colors that go with it on this rural scene, must be the UK or Ireland… Thank you Paulo, so this is the Azores !

  • Here is a nicely composed somewhat classical landscape. You have done it all right and deserve this last space, well done.
