A lot of thought and effort went into this production. The end result is simply brilliant and deserves praise of the highest order. A pleasure to watch, informative, inspirational, to the point, well constructed and devoid of irrelevancies. Well done Andy!

[@AndyMumford]

Thanks for the lovely comment Padraic. Much appreciated

Awesome! Like many of the comments have noted, we’ve watched, and read, many videos and articles on improving the composition of our landscape images.

[@robertschirato2234]

Another magnificent tutorial, the clarity you create with your explanations of what's going on in your thought process of the image is just so clear and concise that it just makes complete sense. Thank you for sharing.

[@AndyMumford]

Thanks so much, really glad you found it useful

[@YufeiXing]

just can't help watching, again and again, every month

[@pentecostkid20]

Wow, thanks Andy. I haven't heard anybody break it down that way. Especially with different shots of the same scene progressively showing how there is hope when you can't make a composition work. I went back to look at my images and realized I'm barely using leading lines much less layers although I'm good with simetry and ballance and shape. Now, I know what to think about! Thanks so much!

[@AndyMumford]

Thanks for the comment Joshua, glad you found the video useful

Thanks so much, really nice of you to say, and I'm glad you enjoy my work. All the best, Andy

[@gharrop1]

Even though I thought I knew some of these pointers,it was very helpful indeed and definitely encouraging,showing us examples that you felt did not work, was particularly helpful. Many thanks & Seasons greetings!

[@smeva26]

this is like the 5th video i clicked on and you actually talk about composition lol - depth and creating a story within the image - something apparently not a lot of other photographers can explain -__- thanks for the video

[@AndyMumford]

[@monishbakshi732]

Watching so many videos on photography as a newbie, i always wondered why photographers show a photo and tell what is wrong in it but then dont show what can be done right in it with another example of the same location. Your video is one of the very few where you showed how the rock on the beach was too plain and how one can create magic with forming leading lines with other techniques! Great work! Thank you.

[@AndyMumford]

Thanks Monish, glad you found it useful

[@ardentdfender4116]

I just found your channel as a recommended channel in my play list to another your landscape tips video. Being also new to photography as a newbie I learned an immense about shot composition for landscape just watching this and how you patiently and thoughtfully explained the reference lines in a shot to the main point. People often talk about composition, but not many ever show and explain it in detail or to point it out to others to grasp in understanding. I’d never thought of it as you explained so well. It makes so much sense now. This was quite educational and inspiring.

[@AndyMumford]

You applied the composition techniques not only to the example images but to the video lesson as well. It is focused, has clear directions, simplified, and inspirational at the same time. Please keep making great videos.

Your commentary is spot on. The rule of thirds is obvious, but I struggle somewhat with finding leading lines to a subject. I presume practice makes perfect? Thank you for the informative video.

[@AndyMumford]

Thanks so much for the comment, glad the video was useful

[@AbbasAliAmir]

This is a great tutorial Andy. I have seen lot of videos where they talk mostly about the images that work and use them as an example. It makes complete sense while going through the video but as soon as we go back to editing our own photos, it becomes very hard to apply those principles. In this tutorial though you have shown example of the images (from the scene) that don't work and then how you managed to re-create a composition in the same scene that works, it is beyond useful. Thanks again!

Thanks Andy for such a clear and engaging explanation. Your use of graphics really help to illustrate the points too. Your films are a great source of encouragement and inspiration for those of us who tend to rely on instinct and a lot of hit and miss attempts trying to capture good (or just better-than-average) landscape images. I will definitely feel more confident applying these tips in future. And id all else fails, still a pleasure to watch!

Beautiful job, Andy. Even your duds are pretty, but there are some things no one can teach: The burning desire to get out, willingness to be cold, lonely and hungry, and sensing that, if you wait - right there - things are going to get really beautiful...then you can go to work. Through example, you have shown us all those things. Happy New Year, Cheers!
