at 32mm, 1/20sec at f/6. 3, ISO 800
An atmospheric and
well-executed composite
that has a strong sense of
foreboding about it. Daniel’s
hard work has paid off.

We love the idea that the
sheep is looking out over
its domain in this image. It
appears to be looking straight
at the distant chimney.12

Another image that
demonstrates you don’t
need to shoot an epic vista to
create a pleasing landscape.
The pops of orange and blue
on the boats punctuate an
otherwise pastel scene.

Lead-in lines are a classic compositional
device, and Nick has used them to good
effect here. The worn wood takes the
eye towards the distant mountains,
inviting the viewer into the scene.12 Tom Franklin de Waart

The intense orange, the
curve of the dune, the
shadow and tree would have
been enough in themselves.
But the oryx on the bottom
left seals the deal.16

The burst of warm light from the sunrise
on the horizon creates a lovely contrast
against the cool tones elsewhere. We
see a lot of shots of Iceland, and this
one is different enough to stand out.
