In this image the aspect of the landscape which seems to have been focused on is the empty space, which with this photographer seems like a running theme (Fay Godwin). Another aspect of landscapes which this photographer focuses on is the coast and countryside as landscapes, and their emptiness. The photographer has put this image in black and white which enforces the emptiness, as it highlights the difference between the field and the sky, and the black and white shows that nothing else is in between. This image promotes a peaceful aspect of this landscape as it shown to be empty and very simple. 

In this image the aspect of the landscape which is focused on seems to be the destruction of the landscape as the picture shows rocks falling into something that looks like a bath. This suggests that there was a disaster which caused such destruction to happen, the photographer (Kate Mellor) named this photograph 'Project Fear'. This image of an Aspect of the Landscape actually provides feeling, it is quite eerie and also sad due to the decay. I like that this image is quite close up as opposed to showing this on a large scale because I like how the decay is what is being focused on as it is really interesting and more noticeable on a close up scale. 

In this image the aspect which seems to be looked at is the economic aspect. The photographer of this image (James Ravillous) has the economic aspect of a farm/ countryside landscape as a running theme within his photography, I think this idea is quite original and individual. The picture has been put in black and white (like the majority of his work) however I think this is a good think because then the colour does not take any attention away from the purpose of the image, to show every working day life of people in this landscape. 

In this image the aspect of the landscape seems to be the colour blue as it is a running theme within this image, the sea is blue, the sky is a mixture of blues and the rocks are a tinge of blue. The aspect of the landscape however could also be the movement of the sea, as a purposefully the photographer (Ross Hoddinot) has used a slow shutter speed on his camera which has blurred all the water and gave it a soft misty vibe. Or the aspect of the landscape within this image could be the large scale, which is made visible as the lighthouse is seen in the distance.

My own definition of 'Aspects of the landscape': Focusing on a specific feature within a certain area
