International Landscape Photography competition

Some great shots in there, my favourite ones tended to be the drone shots or the intimate detailed ones - what's a little disturbing mind is the over-reliance on Orton effect processing. There's quite a few shots where the light isn't even close to reality purely off it's direction. It's a very americanised competition in terms of style.
 
Northeast Greenland, White Pocket Arizona and Adirondack Mountains for me but not that keen on the selection here, better ones on ILPOTY website. The American/international style is massively into epic/dreamy processing - I don't dislike it but it's almost too perfect
 
Greenland shot is crying out for completely calm waters. I'm not usually too bothered about complete mirror like stillness but that particular scene and composition needs it to work.

Some great shots there.

The Tenerife shot is gorgeous.
