yachts at rest

It's an ok photo, but I'm having trouble fitting it to the landscape theme - perhaps a long shot showing all off boats would have been more "landscape" like, or you could try to get just the landscape of that rudder?

First real snow since 1956

Lovely photo - I'm glad you chose to use the wall as a border and didn't add an extra one. The trees also have an almost poetic quality to them - they all look bent the same way on first inspection. Good work.

River Lagan: Frozen

The photo appears slightly blurry - was it handheld perhaps? Your composition (branch on right, path on left) was nice and it could be a really nice shot if a little crisper (and perhaps a little more light without the sky being so bright). Good work though.

Outside local pub.....Akaroa....New Zealand

Nice work. Perhaps just a little more sky would be nice - the mountains are just too close to the top edge for my liking. Composition otherwise is quite nice - New Zealand truly is a lovely place in terms of scenary.

Tranquil Sea

The powerful ness of the dark hills and foreground is lost slightly by the lit bush in the bottom right corner - perhaps if your going to print wash that bush out to black first (I realise you can't do that for the challenge). Otherwise a good photo.

Magdalen Bridge, Oxford, UK
by chrismbhouse

Comment:
Good job. I wonder though if it is cropped just a little too tightly on the sides - perhaps a little surrond would have put the bridge into perspective. Besides that the composition (height of bridge top, inclusion of foreground boats is very good. Perhaps you could have rotated the image slightly to make the top of the bridge horizontal, although it's not a big deal.

Bobby's Pond

What a lovely rolling landscape. Photo-wise, your composition is quite good, and putting the pond edge at the centre vertically works very well. Plus the still water provides a very strong reflection. Great photo (one of the best this week - and it's a strong competition)

That's a very nice photo. The exposure is lovely and the framing is very good also. Focus and depth of field are also very good. It's a very natural and real looking photo - quite appropriate to your title. Well done.

Nice photo. It looks like it was a little hazy when you took the photo, and the shadows on the ground are a shame - although with the time constraints of the challenge these issues can be understood. You composition is nice, the border is nice and simple, and the focus is quite good. Well done.

Nice composition, lighting, focus and colour. I'm not sure that the border adds anything to this image, although it's not particularly bad either.
