dgrin challenge 24 is here. it will run from monday, october 18th at 12:00:01 a.m. nyc time, through monday, novemeber 1st at noon nyc time. the guest judge this is going to be the winner of challenge 23, as determined by the voters.
remember, in order for everyone to benefit, you should be commenting and critiquing for others as much as you expect to get for yourself. you've got to give to get!
challenge 24 is about landscapes. the wide sweeping vistas, dramatic skies, bright and vivid colors that reverberate throughout the scene - ok yep - but don't forget: a landscape can also be a cityscape, a leafscape, a pondscape, well, you get the idea :deal it can be many things, actually. imagine shooting a leaf, with a 250D diopter on your lens - you could caputre an entire "leaf-scape" - it's all about scale - small and intimate or grand and wide... your choice :deal
here are some relavent articles:

*** i made a special exception this challenge, and i am allowing photos taken as early as noon nyc time on sunday october 10th (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=3048) ***
here's what i would call a traditional landscape, a broad sweeping view, sweet light, dramatic color.

something non-traditional .. from the air, a sweeping view, and the tonality really came to life when i converted this to black and white

same here - that's why i picked black and white for this shot:

if you have it, you could use infrared photography to increase the drama

no doubt many of you in the northern hemisphere have or are able to get some delicious fall colors in your landscapes:
