This is really excellent! I would have cropped that little bit of road at the bottom out to make the amount of sky above the tree and the amount of grass roughly the same, but that's just personal preference. Great Tree off County Sideroad.

Thanks! I was trying for a bit of perspective, the viewer's closeness to the tree-as-tidal wave

I like all of those except maybe the second which doesn't do much for me, but especially like the first. Really nice tones, colours and comp

A good reminder to check the overall Dorkroom section occasionally rather than just rely on bookmarked threads. Had no idea this thread existed earlier. In fact, I think this thread was started before I ever took up photography!

Like for both of the previous posts. What is the point of either, its not like theres a subject or anything deeper than a surface level aesthetic. Challenge yourself and take some better photos.

I tend to agree, I feel like doggles is trying to build interest using heavy handed post processing. O don't have anything specific to criticise with Tom's other than its just there. Blackhawk, everything is green.

Is it not ok to try and create an abstract visual out of a landscape? I like the shape created from shadow and the chaos of the lines. I think the bent lamp adds a bit of weirdness to it as well, so I like the pic.

Cacator posted:What's wrong with that? The problem is predominantly that aesthetics are secondary to subject. It would be great if looking was rewarded by there being more to see beyond the surface. A bad photograph of something interesting will always be better than a well made but dull photograph.

Just in case anyone is interested and hasn't seen it: https://naturallandscapeawards.com/competition-results-2021/. The "Photograph of the Year" made my brain try to jump sideways in my skull.

right, i agree that for the genre they're technically good - in focus, colour balance, etc, all that. my issue is with the genre itself, that i don't find it interesting in the least. nothing lays beneath them - there is no message, there is no higher truth, they tell me nothing new.

Those are your typical well-done wallpaper landscape photos, carefully made to try and win competitions and sell prints. I enjoy them in the same way I enjoy a good view, but the photos don't really have any meaning or soul to them.

Most of those are actually pretty basic and uninspired. Whatever your feelings on the genre, there is much better out there. Anyway, here, I put a couple of those pics through the Dorkroom algorithm:

Jerm324 posted:I feel like you could say this about any type of landscape "genre" if said genre isn't your thing. this is true of course and i dont really care if anybody else likes the photos. as has been pointed out they are meant to be likeable. individually there are many fine photos there i think but when you look at them in aggregate the illusion is totaly dispelled for me. no one artist is distinct enough that you could tell who did what if you shuffled them around. or if you did a google image search for nice mountain landscape or leaves on water or snowy tree picture you could probably swap those in and out and not notice the difference. i think they are all hewing as close as they can to same set of ideal beautiful landscape photos as those that are churned into desktop wallpapers or come heavily watermarked by flickr dads with prosumer hardware. ive seen a lot of photos and ive seen a lot of (actual) landscapes (brag) but nothing in there inspires anything of the grandeur or sense of excitment and adventure of the real thing. like megabound said they remind me more of the dentists office, or the furniture in an airbnb, or a picturesque scene in a video game than a real place. these awards are never given to anybody trying something novel or innovative and as a result they are just a celebration of mediocrity. id like to reward people who have a vision that surprises you and pushes things forward. sure some of the artists are lugging their gear up a mountain side to get their shot but the power of what they see is not captured in their photos where they always stay on the paved trail.
