I know this is a site for all kinds of photography, but I'm missing the "Luminous Landscapes" that show up here. There are many intriguing landscape photographers here. For my taste, I'm seeing too many "people" shots lately. Part observation, part complaint, part motivation.
Perhaps there aren't that many great ones being shot; as I know to my cost, it's damned difficult to make something exceptional out of landscape. In fact, perhaps the best I've seen belong to erstwhile poster Chuck K. and to that other, even more rare poster here, whose name I have forgotten: the guy who does the amazing desert storms in b/white? Frankly, I think that colour usually does landscape few favours: I think you have to make it go a step or two beyond its reality in order to make it exceptional, or you are back to square one: reportage of, and simple editing of nature, a concept that so infuriates those self-proclaimed landscape artists who don't, in fact, make much art.
Michael made some great Icelandic landscapes a few years ago; I seem to remember sweeping blacks with silver background subject matter.
I guess it's perhaps better to concentrate on a small bit of nature - in the manner that people like Slobodan do with cityscape.
Less being more?
