Submit your best landscape photos for your chance to win a free Fstoppers tutorial
Twenty landscape images were selected from over 1,000 submissions and two special guests were here to give their critique. Do you agree with the feedback?
As the Fstoppers team is wrapping up filming for Photographing the World 4, which will feature advanced landscape photography, it was the perfect opportunity to get feedback from Elia Locardi. Elia was joined by Mike Kelley making this the first episode that didn't include and Fstoppers team member. Their fresh opinions were welcome.
Of the twenty people whose images were chosen, we'd like to congratulate Tor-Ivar Næss for submitting the image that earned the highest community rating and Stas F for being the randomly chosen entrant to win a free Fstoppers original tutorial. Congratulations to both of you. We will be in touch via your Fstoppers' profiles to claim your prize.
If you weren't able to participate in this episode, we invite you to submit your images now to our next live contest featuring adventure photography.
Elia Locardi is going to be at the Fstoppers studio for the next week and a half filming the post processing section for the newest iteration Photographing the World. We figured it's the perfect opportunity to let him critique your images.
We invite you to submit up to two of your best landscape photos between now and September 3rd for your chance to be part of the next episode of Critique the Community. Not only will 20 entrants be given feedback from Elia Locardi, who is one of the most well known landscape photographers on the planet, two lucky winners will also win a free Fstoppers original tutorial. The first winner will be chosen based on the highest community voted image. The second winner will be chosen at random.
If you're just browsing the post or have already entered you're image, we encourage you to scroll through the submissions of fellow community members and give them feedback of your own.

I think you couldn't submit photos anymore after the deadline? You can still rate them though
So when is the actual critique video out ?
In the next couple days.
When I entered this contest, I had hoped at minimum to get a critique of my image, bad or good, just some hints on how I could have made it better. There are over 1000 entries, and mine has only 30 votes, while I'm seeing many with over 100 votes. I have voted as I have had time, and I know there is no way I could vote on all of them, but really, this seems like a very skewed methodology.
Also, do people actually gauge their voting in any way against the other images? While I'm not saying my image is great or anything, it was taken hand held with a crop sensor, but the quality is decent and I did take time to edit it. But when I see images that look like they were taken on a phone with little to no thought on composition, lighting and no post work with higher scores and triple the number of votes, I feel really like this was a waste of time.
if you want a critique i would suggest joining and submitting to a group like landscape we have had more success in that area the competition in my opinion is not a place for true examination or discussion.
Good point, I haven't been active on this site for very long, guess I should have waited a bit longer before diving into the deep end.
lol so did i and i did not get a warm welcome a photo of mine i really like that is one of my better photos and edits got less than 2 stars
Don't be discouraged, the number of entries and the method of voting suggests the later you enter the more likely you are to receive more views and thus votes.
In terms of taking methodology into account I think at the end of the day the image speaks for itself, handheld in a thunderstorm or on a tripod suspended off a ship, doesn't matter in my books. It's all about the final image.
