Judges Comment

This is a beautiful scene and nicely taken shot, up to a point. Your exposure is beautiful with detail in the highlights and shadows. Focussing is sharp all around and the sky brings a great feel of the big outdoors. However the balance of the photo is spoiled by the foreground which is cut off rather insensitively. Either a little more of it or none at all would have been so much nicer. The general view is very important to make a nice landscape but the foreground is what often makes it a great landscape, bringing detail and matter and depth. You were perhaps so taken with the view that you didn’t think too much about what was right in front of you… next time have a look for something to frame up front. A tuft of grass, a branch of fallen wood, an interesting rock, leaves… it looks like you had some nice grass at your feet…
