Okay...not sure how people are going to react for the landmark challenge (my first member entry).
By definition, a Landmark can be "any prominent object on land that can be used in determining a location or direction." Hopefully the title will help...
May be a stretch, however really liked the dynamics of the green grass and blue sky to the left and yellow field and clouds to the right. First day we've seen the sun in almost two weeks!
Hope to be top 70th percentile :O
I have always wanted to take a picture of this tree lined road and today presented a great opportunity.
f3.5
1/350
Adjusted levels, USM, crop and NI.
My other image was a B&W of Bowmanville, Ontario's largest structure (water tower). Yep...life is pretty exciting here.

Not exactly the "typical" landmark so it will get voted down by some, but still a superb entry. You found the perfect lighting and the composed a wondeful composition to take advantage of it. Everything works! I hope the narrow minded voters see the talent it took to produce this classic.
the colors are really sweet. i like this. for me its a but of a stretch on the challenge, but I never stick a strict literal interpretation anyways. nice photo 8
refreshing to see something other than statues and buildings, anyway. Great light, good time of day for it. The clouds are good, but could be more striking, and I think the top right area's brightness ditracts the attention from the progression of road and that tree - and compositionally your lines take the eye to it more stongly than the tree. Good work though.
So simple yet so NICE!!. Its great to see a shot like this without power lines in the shot, I have a million shots like this around my town but there are lines everywhere that ruin the shot. GREAT color and composition. 8
incredible range of colors. love your treatment of the clouds (or should i say non-treatment? they don't look overly burned or dodged. i mean, i don't have this most critical eye, but those clouds don't even look like you touched them up at all!).
i also appreciate your take on the challenge. i hope you don't hammered for not shooting a building or statue, because this is really an exquisite image. great timing, great job! good luck!
I really love the colors and composition of this shot. I'm not seeing a strong connection to landmark, mainly because there are a number of trees here and it doesn't really stand out. Still, as a photo, I like it a lot.
This is a gorgeous scene, well captured... but considering all those trees are the same I wouldn't really say that any of them is a landmark - seems like a stretch to meet the challenge... Oh well, its a great shot so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt :).
