Thanks for the link. Makes me enjoy the coffee break I'm having a bit more.
By the way, the second image (Overall Young Photographer of the Year Winner) reminds me of this one from Michaels X100 review (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/articleImages/MR9/recreo.jpg).

#2 and #14 are "landscape?" I'd call both pretty good street photographs. There's some wonderful stuff in here, Jeremy. Thanks.

Very nice. Thanks!

I am a little surprised by how processed some of these are. More so than we tend to see on this forum. Perhaps I'll start exercising my sliders a bit more.

No, please don't!  :)

You are right, they are over processed, they are made to look ideal and and allow for no flaws but as we know nature is never that way. There needs to a be a rough edge somewhere, something to suggest that they are rooted in reality rather than a still from a dream sequence. I found myself tiring of them due to the lack of imperfections.

Much as I like the winner, I thought this was an interesting comment on it http://www.alexnail.com/blog/news-updates/lpoty-2012/.

That winning photo has now been disqualified - see http://www.85mm.co.uk/blog/

This http://www.timparkin.co.uk/2012/10/landscape-photographer-of-the-year-2/ dissection of some of the compositing may also amuse / interest folk.

On a happier note, Nail's own submissions (viewable via a link on the site above), are impressive.
