What do you do with a Landscape image....? Sometimes nothing…?… because the images are fine the way they are..and can act solely as an explicit document of nature…which don`t need a lot of tinkering with…
…However, if you wanted to develop and experiment with your images, the examples below might help.
A lot of the time in A-level, you have to develop and experiment with images in a multitude of ways if you want to get the best marks.…It is down to the individual to experiment and develop, without compromising ideas and intentions- or going too far with Photoshop…
below is a guide slide to suggest ideas for developing landscape images...
These images (that had the layer of the knotted rope) reminded me a little of a heart- maybe it could lead to developing a narrative in for the images - possibly the "heart of the coutryside" ...?
The images in this post were taken by Celine Stretton (one of my super-powerful A2 students) who wanted to see what could be done with her images to push them beyond the initial starting point stage- which are beautiful landscape documents/ images in their own right
The fab image above was made by Celine, and is a great example-of how careful combination of layering and pre-thought about your images can lead to interesting results- and go way beyond slap-happy layering
The vid below is choc-full of inspiration for all landscape photographers looking for a bit of inspiration and direction to develop their images and ideas
These hexagonal images were developed using a common shape from the set to create unusual images that appeear to be openings in thicketts and undergrowth to reveal unusual, interesting compositions....
the images below are advice slides- made to support learning, that ususally find their way into PowerPoints and guides for my students. They suggest ways of developing, artist links and methods of experimenting

Hope this helps ...:-)
