I was looking at this month's RPS Landscape Group monthly competition entries (assuming its public you might be able to view it here -> https://rps.org/groups/landscape/monthly-competition/) and I got to thinking that there are very few of other people's landscape photos that I really connect with. I'm not saying those photos are somehow sub-par, they are mostly perfectly good landscape photos, they just don't do anything for me and I assume most of my work is seen the same way by others
There are a few landscape photographers, e.g. Mark Littlejohn, Jem Southam, who sometimes produce work that I can really relate to but even then it is hit-and-miss and many more misses than hits for me.
Here's one of mine which I really like however everyone else I have shown it to has been completely underwhelmed by it.
There are loads of other photographic genres where I seem to be less picky and can be find more of a connection. I am the first to admit that I am pretty unusual so is it just me? I mainly shoot landscapes so I wonder if I am just too close to the subject?
