    Your images are very dramatic. Your comments outrageous :) " Let me know in the comments what I deserve!" You deserve my sub. Besides you mentioned Nick so I gave you a thumbs up as well. Of the four, Michael is the only one I follow until now. It was a fabulous challenge, so demanding. Thanks for the time and effort to share.

      Hi Darren just saw the lads videos all four of you got some beautiful photos. My favourite was Michael's turquoise wave. Mads cheated he used 300ml Nigel and Michael where late back so technically I guess you won the challenge. Over all it was all great fun and a pleasure to watch you guys working with the elements against time thank you very much for sharing the challenge

    This was really fun - you guys should do more like this. After watching all 4 of the videos I have to judge the challenge like this 1 = Mads 2 = Darren 3 = Michael 4 = Nigel although it was really close all round. The human interest and compression Mads added was the most unique and so it really stood out for me.

    @John-Shutterlyphotos Рік тому +1

    Fun video for sure. But Darren had the unfair advantage, he was using a Canon, Nigel can in second with the Nikon but I think Mads and Mike were using toy cameras for this challenge. So Darren WINS!!!

    So far, haven't watched Michael yet, I was thinking Nigel's rainbow shot had the biggest "wow" factor, but nah, yours does. Mads put a lot into his shot, though, and I can't discredit the ability and work put into that. What a difficult decision. First time watching your channel, will be same for Michael.

    Hi. Landscape, my favorite genre of photography. I watched the videos of all the participants of this challenge and concluded that as an empirical experiment, it is interesting. I don't want to assume the role of referee, but even though you disqualified Michael, his photos impressed me more than others. By the way, I am a subscriber to three of the participants, except for Daren's channel.
