Amazing layers... Something that always creates a good landscape due to the way it involves the viewer. Nice composition and the clear contrast between layers works a treat, whilst still maintaining a good dynamic range capturing most of the detail. Well done!

That is a very well executed composition! Good exposure with a nice balance of depth of field with the motion blur you were after. Nice choice with the ND8 as well, I've just purchased one and need to get experimenting. Great stuff!

Gorgeous balance of colour using the grad filter, it's something I need to experiment more with. Pretty well timed with the wave crashing against the rocks, and well exposed with the shutter speed too, creating a good dynamic feel to the waves. Foreground lacks a little sharpness, but overall VERY well done!

As far as landscapes go this is a gorgeous composition that is well executed. Good use of layers, really nice balance to the scene, good contrast really brings out the detail and of course nice colour renditions.

The sheer scale that you can feel in this image is phenomenal! When I first viewed it in full I was amazed by the size of the people that are in shot. That and the shadowing fading across the smooth snowy surface builds a great map of the features of this landscape. Well done!

A really well balanced balanced and composed image Adam! Is this at Southerndown facing towards Witches Point? I really miss that place and have never had the chance to shoot it...

A truly lovely part of the world, captured in all it's glory. Great use of layers in the landscape, all of them kept sharp, interesting and varied. Very well done!

Love the tone of the colours in this capture, and the clarity throughout the entire depth of the scene too. The composition works well in the way it creates different areas in the scene, with the bridge drawing the viewers eye nicely across it. Nicely done!

A prefect example of man and earth fitting together. The foreground combined with the breathtaking landscape tapering into the distance just works incredibly well. The curve of the monastery creates an interesting way of drawing the eye across the composition too, it almost makes the viewer examine each and every part of the photo in detail, allowing the viewer to appreciate the photo fully. Great stuff!

Voluminosity, another of my fascinations! I really like the warm and radiant tone of this capture... Gives a very strong feeling in the image.

Another element I really like is the combination of natural and man-made elements working together to form an interesting perspective that adds to the composition and the way it draws the viewers eye across the photo. Excellent!
