Guardian Camera Club: iancumberland's portfolio review

Kesajarvi: The frozen Lake Kesajarvi, Ruka, Finland. The way in which your eye is led into this picture by the lines in the snow and the hight in the middle is pleasing. It also works because of the refraction of the coloured light on the clouds. Perhaps the saturation could have been boosted, to make the image more surreal Photograph: Ian Cumberland/flickr

Winter Moon: Ruka, Finland. This photograph works really well, it looks like it has come straight out of Narnia! The frozen wires through the centre add to the feeling of frost and snow, and the colours captured at this time of night are excellent Photograph: Ian Cumberland/flickr

Stars: Was this picture turned this way on purpose? Using a long exposure to photograph the sky has captured the movement of the stars above, leading to people continually confusing them with meteorites! Photograph: Ian Cumberland/flickr

Rocks: The colour of the water and the detail of the rocks makes this image look like the perfect island paradise. You could have considered photographing this in a landscape as the right side of the frame seems to have been quite severly cropped Photograph: Ian Cumberland/flickr

Derwent Water: Sunset at Derwent Water, Lake District, England. The light in this picture and the reflections in the water help to create atmosphere. It might have improved the picture slightly if it had been shot from a slightly different angle so the tops of the wooden spikes would be separated from the landscape behind Photograph: Ian Cumberland/flickr

Reflection: Placing the horizon line in this position is an interesting choice as it neither splits the image in the middle or into thirds. The balance does feel right, though. The shadows cast by the rocks are very atmospheric and their large scale against the boat is surprising Photograph: Ian Cumberland/flickr
