What an absolute honour to make it onto the Thumbnail 😍 I've been digitally immortalised!!! Hopefully people look at that and think green thumbs up 😂 Thank you for the feedback, it's much appreciated. Gutted I missed the bright line on the edge of the lighthouse, I missed a spot!! A feedback loop is super helpful, and not just personally from this video either. I can take something away from the critique of all the great photos in this video. I went to Denmark after I had taken your landscape composition masterclass. I definately used the tools I learnt on that class when I was at Rubjerg Knude. You may have also noticed I am a sucker for central compositions too 😋
Please do a video like this again in the future, I found this to be so so helpful and informative and it helped me see some of the common mistakes I make too which I’ll keep in mind next time I’m on location
I am truly ecstatic to have my photo featuring in the video and thank you Mads for your thoughtful critique. It was taken on a trip to Tasmania and unfortunately the sky was not what I had hoped for. But I do have a similar shot in portrait orientation with the tree in the middle, which would make a better composition. You and your photos truly inspire me to become a better photographer, and your feedback and validation means a world to me. Thanks again!
Great video, I agree it would be nice to see more videos like this. Not only does it help the person who had their photo critiqued, it helps everyone learn from it as well. I’ve watched a lot of videos that get critiqued like, “The Grid” with Scot Kelby and use it as a tool to see where I am as a photographer. I see if I can identify the same things that are being critiqued first.
This is very helpful Mads. When photographers like yourself with years of experience review another's photo is very good. I find I look at photos differently and am helping rain my eye to seeing in a different some could say more professional way. Thanks. 🙂👍
A very nice format - thanks to all who presented their photos and thanks to you for your comments. You are absolutely right that a photo critique can help a lot! Especially when you demonstrate different crops and exposure settings. Could be done more often!
Well done Mads, great supportive feedback. I tried putting an image forward with another photographer a couple of years ago and he basically destroyed my confidence when he pulled apart my image. It wasn't a positive experience. He was selecting a number of images to go forward. Didn't help when he edited images he liked then accepted them. Feedback should be supportive and a learning experience. Cheers, Rich
lots of tips given in your video ! Very interesting and good for improving our images. Your vision of our photos shows that details can do a lot in the impact of its.
Thank you for doing this video and all the feedback, also picking my two tree photo and the constructive criticism, appreciate it! I started with photography about a year ago and your videos helped a lot along the way!! Will include your tips next time, thanks again.
I've watched you grow as a photographer and artist over several years now. You just keep getting better! I have found it useful in my own photography to first make the best of whatever my initial crop was, but then tell myself that there is at least one tighter crop that is better. If I use my imagination, I often find one, or sometimes several. This often helps me edit the photo at hand, but also trains my compositional skills for the next time I find myself staring through a viewfinder.
I finally got some time to sit and watch this video tonight, and such a great review of some wonderful images. I’d really hoped to be able to send one of mine in, but life got in the way and I ran out of time. I’ve learned an awful lot from both your course, the ebooks, and your ongoing vlogs, and I’m so grateful for how you’ve helped to shape the beginning of my journey, thank you Mads.
Thanks, Mads, for this video. It is tremendously helpful to see this type of critique session. Reading about composition or watching videos about comp don't teach as much as this critique format. Hope you will consider doing more of these in the future
Dang, must have missed the posting in the FB group as it would have been an absolute honour to have feedback from you Mads as you are one of my key inspirations in relation to my photography. Great to see what others have submitted and to learn from you through their images
I like this format. Good insight. I thought it was a little heavy on the sales part for your courses. However, that is how you generate income and I know that. So I guess I’m cirtiquing your critic video, but we’ll worth the effort. I learned from this video.
Hey! My photo made the video! And even better, you didn't tear it apart! lol This really means a lot to me Mads because I think your eye and your skill with photo processing is unmatched. Very encouraging day for me! =)
Thank you Mads for this intuitive video! There ist whole bunch of great images and great sceneries. I would like to point this out first, because these photographers stepped forward with their photos, they have done a great job overall, that needs to be appreciated. Personally, it helps me a lot, to hear some constructive critisism from a professional like you and to check, whether your suggestions match with my first impression of each image - and yes it does after the first or second second thought. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us!
It's a great honor that my El Capitan shot got your feedback and your thoughtful critique, I agree with your review, hopefully next winter I'll try again this composition with your feedback in mind :) Also, really appriciate your time to feedback all the photos and sharing your thoughts with everyone. Thank you.
Hi Mads, I would like to know (maybe on another video) what you consider a distraction and why. I know it is a tricky question 😊but, I have noticed that the perception of a "distraction" is very personal. I don't have it clear in my own photos. Sometimes it is obvious but others, not so much. Exactly for this little difference is why I am asking you this question Thanks Mads
OK, this might seem a bit odd, but you could get some ideas from good painters. There's a RUclipsr, Ian Roberts, who instructs in oil painting. Often he paints from "reference photos", and takes them very carefully. For starters, check out his video "Getting the most from your reference photos."
Mads, this is a very good video on critiquing. It has been said that photographers don't crop enough and also do not indicated where the focus is in their images to draw the eye. I would enjoy my camera club's competitions more if the judge could imitate your style when reviewing our images. Thank you once again for a wonderful video.
Many thanks for your critique on Golden ridge Mads. So thankful that all I need to do is crop the photo, as regards the editing…….it must be the great landscape course by your good self and all your RUclips videos. A really informative video with so much helpful info. 👍😀
Thank you, Mads, and thanks to all who were willing to submit photos for Mads to critique. I have both e-books on composition, and find them valuable. Thanks for creating them, Mads. I learned much here from your critique of submitted photos, some of which has to do with where I disagree with you. If the artist were to use your edits, on a couple of images I liked, I would not buy them. You help me to define my own likes and dislikes and more clearly understand why I like what I like and why I don't like what I don't like. Maybe this is not a big deal for some, but for me, it has been a big deal, and a struggle. An excellent video. Thank you.
Coming from the composition guru you are. That's a fantastic video. I would love to see more of these! Fantastic work Mads! Thank you for taking your time to look at all the images and critique them.
Takk Mads! You're videos have helped me progress very quickly since starting landscape photography 10 months ago. Do you have any advice on Stock Photography? Whenever I upload photos they seem to need their megapixels increased in order to be accepted.
Hey Mads. Yes, really enjoyed this critique session and highly recommend more in the future. The amount of time you dedicate on each photo isn't too much or too little. It's just right. 👌 Can you share more info on where others can find or subscribe to the "landscape photographers group" that these selects came from? Since discovering your channel, (5 years ago?) your youtube & photography work has been life changing and I would love to get one photo at the very least, in front of you for a minute like these.
It's fine that people use Photoshop and Lightroom, but I wish people would not always assume that everybody uses them or can use them. Adobe still won't support all of the major operating systems and even on the supported platforms there are alternatives.
Excellent video! I didn't know that we could send some shots for you to see and give us your feedback. When was this? This time I missed it. Always waiting for your videos, Mads. They're a complete guide for those who admire your work and thanks to this we learn a lot. Forever grateful for everything you share. I dare to ask you: will you ever come to Argentina with a workshop?
Hi Mads, I'm new to this field. I've just purchased sony A7rIII (your channel really helped me with my dissision) I'm planing to get Tamron 28-200 mm. Are you still recommend Tamron 28-200 for landscape? Also, do you have any advice on Tamron 17-28 mm? Thanks!
Id love feedback from other photographers on my work. I take whimsical and artic nature photography. The only landscape photos I have are glaciers and mountains though
I will never send a photo to anyone for Critique this is a worthless exercise 0. Your idea of how one should take a Photo or compose one will differ from the 8 other pro photographers that will also critique the same photo so how do one take the advice from 8 Pros. what makes your view better than the rest. I Admire all of your photos but Peter i also like Adam gibbs and thomas heaton and i would still not ask them to Critique any of my photos If one likes the photo that they have taken that is all that matters. Sorry but this is a fact what is good to your eye might not be good to everyone else.
I found this photo critique concept and presentation useful and informative. Would like to see some more like this. Thanks

Wow. Thanks for having a look. Nice of you to mention it at all.
You should make a series out of this, because it is seuper useful! Thanks again, Mads.
Thanks! I think it's very useful too. If people want to click the video and actually watch it I wouldn't mind making more of these in the future :)
Please do a video like this again in the future, I found this to be so so helpful and informative and it helped me see some of the common mistakes I make too which I’ll keep in mind next time I’m on location
Learnt a lot from this 32minutes of pure knowledge sharing session, thanks for sharing. I love the way you share your thoughts.
Found this very helpful. I really like the pace. Not too long on each photo.
Very helpful Mads. Your feedback is not without ideas which are always welcome.
I am truly ecstatic to have my photo featuring in the video and thank you Mads for your thoughtful critique. It was taken on a trip to Tasmania and unfortunately the sky was not what I had hoped for.

This video is so helpful, I love listening to photo critique video, they make me think about what you said when I'm on location.
Thanks for providing this type of critique video. I'm recognizing some of where I've gone wrong myself.
Great video, I agree it would be nice to see more videos like this. Not only does it help the person who had their photo critiqued, it helps everyone learn from it as well.

I enjoy the critiques. Just binge watched the last four videos I missed - youtube can be so frustrating.

Photo feedback really helps with growth in photography. The photographer community is amazing!
Please keep doing these types of videos, I definitely learned a lot and I’ll be rewatching this a few more times! Your E-books are great too!
A good format or a video. I like the insight and independent opinion on the photos. You definitely provided some new ideas regarding the compositions.
Well done Mads, great supportive feedback. I tried putting an image forward with another photographer a couple of years ago and he basically destroyed my confidence when he pulled apart my image.

Awesome concept. Very informative. Thanks and looking forward to seeing more.
Great to hear your feed back. It is very useful.
This is helpful. Please we need more critique videos.
lots of tips given in your video ! Very interesting and good for improving our images. Your vision of our photos shows that details can do a lot in the impact of its.
Your critiques really helped me look at composition differently. Thanks. I would find it helpful if you periodically reviewed some photos.

Great video. So nice to see other photographer's work.
I like these videos. It helps me to look at what kind of editing is needed and how I can improve my own photography.

Thanks a lot, Paul :)
Mads, I enjoy these breakdowns but I enjoy whatever you focus on in your videos.
I loved listening to your feedback. Your thinking process is incredible. More of these, please!
Thanks Mads for a fascinating set of critiques and congrats to those photographers involved.
This was really good Mads, some others in the future would be cool.
I enjoy these critiques as they look so similar to images I take so I relate to your comments. Kudos to the photographers who sent in images!
Interesting critique, would love to see more.

Thank you very much for your comment on my picture. Best regards from germany, Werner
I enjoyed the video very much. Nicely paced and informative. Vignetting is evidently very much 'en vogue'!

Really interesting and helpful video 👍
Can you do this? but with mobile photography... would like to see your opinion in mobile photography. :)
Great video!!! I learn a lot!!! Great shot of Sacra di San Michele near Torino and near me ;-))))
The Golden Ridge one is the same Nigel Danson took lol.
