1 ‘Frozen Flatirons’ by Melissa Richards

This landscape was shot in Boulder, Colorado, USA, with an Apple iPhone XS. This area is known as The Flatirons, a popular destination for rock climbers, hikers – and photographers, of course. “I love getting out to take photos when the storms roll in from the mountains,” says Melissa. “I could see the snow starting to move in across the top of the Flatirons and loved the way it was shrouding the top of the rocks. It was very cold and windy, and I had to run up the hill and shoot quickly to get the framing the way I wanted because the snow was moving in fast.

“Almost immediately after I got this shot, the Flatirons disappeared into the snow and clouds. I was just in time and pretty fortunate to be able to capture the atmosphere of the storm overtaking the massive formations with the frosting of snow on the grass and trees. I’m always trying to capture images in a way that brings about the feeling of when I was standing there. And this one came out just the way I had hoped.”

Digital Camera says: This is a stunning landscape that has everything in the right place, from the foreground to the snow on the trees and the sculpted mountains emerging from the mist in the distance. The subtle tones and the pastel greens and browns poking out from the covering of snow have resulted in a fantastic landscape image that is subtle and appealing to the eye. This shot captures Colorado at its very best.
