The first two photos really do it for me.

Is it just me or do 4 out of the 6 appear to NOT be 'landscape'.....??

Maybe it's just the presentation, but the first two appear so manipulated they look more like paintings than photographs. (not my thing anyway, though, so I may be disinclined to fully appreciate them)

Actually, they look like landscapes to me, except for the one inside the house 🙂. Other than that, I don't see the problem...

Well 2,3,4 & 5 are NOT landscape in the true sense, they are two seascapes a cityscape and an archictectural shot........
........So, were there not enough landscapes entered or did they throw out landscapes because the judges like 'not landscape' better....??
If you are going to have a photo competition is helps to keep the the subject. We have already had the BBC 'countryfile' contest were the winners were not really appropirate to the subject classes so it's getting to be a trend.......Is it really worth entering?

Perhaps people should read the captions with the photos in order to realise they are not all from the same person and are winners in different categories...

<sarcasm>Thanks for explaining for the rest of us what is and is not a landscape "in the true sense."</sarcasm>

It looks artificial to me, as if the foreground, midground and background were heavily worked separately. I'm not saying that it is, but I wouldn't be shocked if someone told me it was a composite.
But again, not my thing so maybe I don't get it. Sally Mann's landscapes are closer to what interests me.

Just a set of cliché shots.
At least no.1 is beautiful.

You gotta like the term cliche. Just about every photo in most categories can be considered cliche. There is not much different out there from what was done years ago. Just the gear and medium change. Hard not to be cliche, similar subjects/themes have been done to death for over 100 years.
