Elli de Cios Sunrise
 |
Photographer: Diven photographer
Photographer’s statement: One of my favorite shots I took the first morning of my first visit to Dolomites. There was no time for the scout (and with the declared weather being marginal), I decided to grow at this place which has been in my bucket list for a long time! After a solitary peaceful increase in pre-don glow, I reach the place and where to set before sunrise. I got this place (loud) below the road (a forest of photographers and tripods), which did a great job! The subtle leading line of orange grass and patterns in the grass in the foreground lead the eye to the middle and background, where magic occurs. The very well -defined sunbeam created by the shadow of the sassolungo, faint backlit gauze in the valley, shoots this dramatic and hypnotic image, shooting the landscape with alpine huts. The foreground in the shadow pulled the viewer’s eye into the shot. One of my favorite shots to this day!

God’s hand
 |
Photographer: Julindelval
Photographer’s statement: I captured this picture in the heart of Cirque du Fer à Cheval in French Alps. My goal was to find a unique, almost real light that would cross the landscape. That day, after the days of observation and perseverance, the rays of the clouds and the sun align to create an incredible atmosphere.

Grand Canyon, South Rim Desert View
 |
Photographer: Platinamcharya
Photographer’s statement: This picture was taken just before morning, so the light was soft (no shade), but still directed. I am a platinum printer, and this image is perfect for that printing medium – white and blacks are never intense like other printing methods, so all intermediate values are emphasized in the tonal range of the image.

Whispering
 |
Photographer: Brown
Photographer’s statement: Hidden Deep in Wurunuran National Park, this moss-covert bridge emerges like a secret invitation. The moment I arrived, the rainforest stopped the fate, the streams mumbled into the riddles, and the air became thick with an unseen appearance. It felt more like crossing a stream and entering a border between the world. I did not move forward. I heard I waited. In this untouched pocket of remote north Queensland, the landscape does not shout – it whispers. And only they will still hear enough.

Sunset in Sand Harbor
 |
Photographer: Rishabhonat
Photographer’s statement: Step on the sand harbor of Memorial Day evening is like entering a living water color painting. As soon as the sun is less towards Sierra Nevada horizon, its rays dance beyond the famous blue water of Taho. The sky turns into a fusion of hot gold, pink, purse and melted orange.

The Empire of the Midnight Sun
 |
Photographer: Basilg
Photographer’s statement: Great view of midnight sun in Senja, Northern Norway. This region is one of my favorite for landscape photography, directly from the sea with its mountains and with a bright midnight sun. Two attempts were made to catch this picture, as I had imagined it, because I was caught in a storm in the first attempt.

Photographer: Gerifax
Photographer’s statement: White Sands was taken late during the day in our way from the National Monument. I really stopped to take a different photo. Then looked at this loan Soptri Yukka on top of a large tibba. The grain of the “sand” and the waves at the top are classic white sand.

No pink glasses need

Photographer: Supernatat
Photographer’s statement: I took this picture during a landscape photo workshop in beautiful Italian Tuscany. We woke up very quickly to be in the right place – we wanted some fog in the valleys and a colorful sky during sunset. The shot was taken just before sunset. The sky was slightly dark using the internal classified ND filter of OM-1 II.

A epic flight
 |
Photographer: As9107
Photographer’s statement: I like Panorama very much! But this is quite a challenge in the turbulent air from a paraglider of a shaking. Here, a beautiful summer day, I was flying with my friend Federico in the Gran Saaso series in Central Italy. High in front of the lines, the scene was so great that I decided to fly a little distance away from my flying friend and tried to take many pictures, later to be stitched together, in the middle. Right to left, clouds have the main summit: Corno Grande 2912m, Pizo Intermesoli 2635m and Monte Korvo 2623m.
