Hello from the critique club.

Well first of all congratulations on your score, a 6.5 is really good.

This shot is really well composed, I love the huge frame with the small subject because it kind of breaks away from the norm, which works well with the subject. The textures of the window are really nice, and the colours of the scene in back really pop next to the desaturated frame.

Compositionally, this shot is sound. I like the centered mountain because it leads your eye right into the scene. I like that the image is broken up into lines by the clouds, then the mountains, then the field because it contrasts with the vertical frame.

This is a great shot that suited the challenge well. Good job.

I have a hunch this is taken in iceland :) Not really digging the HUGE frame with such a small subject. ALso the subjct is good but the sky isn´t great, maybe you should have waited for an even later time of day to take this but above average in the challenge, got a 6 from me.

Not normally a fan of symmetry and centred compositions, but it works well here. Great colours and textures.

Great view! Almost looks like a painting on a wall until you really look closely. Well composed, well seen.

Klárlega íslendingur, soldið overboard í curves kanski, en ekkert alvarlegt.

Excellent earth tones! I might have cropped a little tighter to reduce the amount of wall. Also might have tried a higher angle to get the horizon at the 1/3 mark.

I think that's one of the bests. I like the composition and the landscape. It really meets the challenge. The colour and light are well done. It seems also to have movement.

Nice colors - the contrast betwen the frame and the subject is striking. Is this tilted a bit?

Really nice, the photo would have been stronger if you had of moved the mountain offcenter.
