Final Voting: Special Landscape Photo Contest (General Submissions)

Foto - Dino · 01-05-2023, 08:50 PM - **1 Like**

So many images so creatively captured and completed in the eye of the photographers involved, leaves one so inspired and in awe.

Congratulations to all entrants, and may all participating members of the Forum do justice in determining a Winner from such a vast field.

That took a piece of paper, several lists and a lot of scrolling. Some images which would have been outstanding on their own, were overshadowed by the overall standard.

I would have been happy to have taken nearly any one of them.

Excellent work folks.

I would end up voting for nearly every single one of them!!!

It was very difficult to decide a best 5 out of such a superb choice.

Wow, these are fantastic. Probably 30 or more deserve to win. I hope we will be able to continue to look at them all after the results are announced.

Voted. I did it in one pass - I had looked several times in previous days and this time I just went from the last to the first and jotted down possible votes and MUST votes. I had exactly 5 must votes by the time I made it from the last to the first - serendipity!

What a bunch of great photos! Narrowed it down to about 20, and then to 5, but it definitely took some time.

I had only two on my list - a number of them looked “made in post” to me. I don’t know what the truth is, but I eliminated them right away.

**OrangeKx** · 01-10-2023, 08:03 AM

I missed the voting process, but WOW!!! Not a bad photo in this bunch. There is some serious talent on display here. Bravo to all who posted a pic.

ddbarchitect · 01-10-2023, 12:08 PM

Some really beautiful pics here. The winner is truly an amazing shot.

I personally did not vote for pics that had a person, animal or building as a primary subject, feeling that they were not what I consider to be a landscape.

A well deserved winner

**Serkevan** · 01-17-2023, 05:04 AM

Certainly. It's a very peculiar photo - and works wonderfully.

Matt, That image is off the hook, I remember being awed when I first saw it. Congrats on a well-deserved win. I can't believe how great the entries were for this contest. Well done everyone!
