Landscape Award Editors’ Picks of November 2022

Following the results of last month’s landscape competition, the editorial team is delighted to share some images that didn’t make the final selection, but nevertheless, we believe, are well deserving of exposure.

This year the quality of submissions was truly outstanding, and thus, we’ve decided to expand the selection from ten images to twenty-one.

We’d like to express our gratitude to all the photographers who took the time and care to share their work with us. Thank you for reminding us of all the incredible beauty that exists within our world, and the importance of protecting and preserving our planet.

“Patagonian Light” - Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
Up to that moment, the sky was overcast and there were little chances of getting a good light. As I kept observing Grande Paine in Torres del Paine National Park, the heat from the sunlight went through the clouds, letting place to one of the most beautiful sceneries. © Rémi Bergougnoux
“Sullivan Island Pier” - Sullivan’s Island USA

“An x-ray of the Earth” - Iceland

“Plansee Austria2” - Austria

“North Lagoon” - Venice, Italy
The sandbanks of the Venice lagoon are typical tabular lands with their own characteristic ecosystem. The tides regulate the flow of water that enters and leaves the lagoon, forming with their natural strength minor canals, called ghebi, which connect the innermost areas to the main waterways. The ghebi have a significant role in the lagoon ecosystem, regulating the water supply both during high tides, with drainage functions, and during low tides, allowing the passage of water even in the innermost areas. © Marco Del Zotto
“The Lost World” - Mercantour NP, France/Italy
A trek in the Parc National du Mercantour of about 9 miles runs at the border of France and Italy, going through a wild and primeval landscape. © Aurelio Bormioli
“Fresh Blanket” - Iceland

“Lights from the sheep’s cliffs” - Faroe Islands
Sheep are the ones who enjoy the most the Faroe Islands landscapes. While grazing on a grass that could not be greener (thanks to the automatic watering system), they must have seen a lot above these fjords. © Fabien Guittard
“Out #2” - Newport Beach, Australia
Capturing the morning light play on the water, enhancing the flow and the subtle changes in the landscape created by the water. © Mark Appleton
“Godrevy lighthouse” - Godrevy Island in St Ives Bay, Cornwall, UK
Long overdue storm shooting and was very pleased to come away with my favourites capture of Godrevy lighthouse I’ve got. I wanted to capture some detail in the swell so it was a fine game of exposure time. I think the foreground wave just made the cut and created more drama. © Benjamin Hawkins
“Icelandinc coast” - Iceland

“Scotland Winter Colour” - Scotland
The colour of winter at the beginning of January in Scotland. A bitterly cold but undeniably beautiful place to be. © Samuel Comber
“The Siren’s Grave” - Hvitserkur, Iceland
This shot and that stretch of the Icelandic coast made me restless for a few days. That landscape still spoke to me and I didn’t want to listen; no one loves sadness, yet it is a key to open the heart. When I realized this the restlessness disappeared and there was relief. © Stefano Balma
“Dancing Dust” - Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado, USA
The wind kicked up clouds of dust which were highlighted by the last bit of sunlight entering this valley. © Kyle Barden
“Memories of the Genesis” - Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso, Italy
In some places in the Italian Alps, such as the Loudon lake in the Gran Paradiso National Park, it seems to be faced with a geological scenario from millions of years ago. © Roberto Carnevali
“The Nothern show”- Iceland
The incredible Northern Lights show in Iceland. © Matteo Rovatti
“On the Top of the Hill” - Slovenia
This beautiful little church is located in Slovenia not far from Lake Bled. It is a magical place where you can breathe peace and serenity. This photo was taken in the morning of a chilly winter day. © Thomas de Franzoni
“Winter Eruption” - Fagradalsfjall volcano, Iceland
During the time of the eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland, there have been only a couple of days when snow and lava were mixing for a beautiful contrasty landscape effect. © Mathias Rhode
“Secret window” - Dolomites, Italy
My plans were to shoot spring flowers, yet I found myself to walk in the mist and the snow. Fooling around in the forest I saw this opportunity using a symmetric composition to capture this amazing scene. © Luca Rigato
“After the Falls” - Tanalian River, Alaska
View of the Tanalian River, after the falls taken near Port Alsworth, Alaska. © April Blum
