Greetings from the Critique Club!

Very nice landscape, great colours and tones, but I'm not seeing a real focal point to draw me in. Landscapes do tend to do very well during Free Studies...but they have to be magnificent to do well. This is a good postcard-type pic, well-exposed and inoffensive, but that is also its weakness as it lacks that WOW! factor, which this site favours.

You live in a heaven-sent country for photography; keep on exploring it and shoot at different seasons, times of day, different lenses, during the night, during the morning, and see what you can do.

Hope this helps

Susan

Too many landscapes here jump out at me with their over-the-top sharpness, HDR, etc. It's refreshing to see one that does not attack me, but rather, invites me in. A ten for you.

A beautiful landscape with some lovely light but I would have liked a specific feature/subject to lift it.

What a peaceful, serene looking landscape image. I love the hills in the haze off in the distance.
