Astrophotography

Aurora for me is without doubt the most beautiful natural phenomena to exist.

What I love about this image is it's simplicity, a single image with minimal editing taken in stunning surroundings.

Finding the pool of water on the sand with the low perspective to capture the reflections was totally worth the effort. A truly beautiful shot and a worthy winner for the contest, congratulations !

This is a fantastic image, I love the composition and subject.

A lot of thought, time and effort has clearly gone into creating this shot and it was all totally worth it, really well exposed and edited and deserves a spot in the top 10.

Comet Neowise was one of the best things to have happened in what's been an unusual year to say the least.

I love the feeling and sentiment of this shot, simple in composition but really effective, thoroughly deserves a spot in the top ten.

This image really caught my eye, I love the subject and composition for this shot.

The lighting and overall subtle editing of both the foreground and sky in this image really works for me. Fantastic work and deserved a spot in the top 10.

Ship wrecks for me make for a really interesting subject for photography, particularly when photographed at night with the milky way.

To me, it invokes a sense of intrigue and a passing of time. How did the ship wreck occur, how long has it been there, why hasn't it been removed? But regardless of any of this, life continues to go on.

This is a great example, subtly edited and thoroughly deserves a top ten spot.

This really is a captivating image that stands out from the crowd. A really interesting foreground with the rock formations and inclusion of a person for a sense of scale.

A lot of effort has clearly gone into both photographing and editing this image and it really was worth all of that effort. A well balanced image that is definitely worthy of a top 10 spot.

This spot is one of my favourite places to visit day or night. I spent over two hours there waiting for cloud to clear to photograph the mill with comet Neowise and when shooting star trails there on a previous occasion I had a barn owl land on my camera, it's a beautiful spot to be out under the stars.

This is a fantastic image that has been very well processed in terms of detail and colouration. It is clear that considerable time and effort has gone into producing this particular image and results like this make that investment in time and effort absolutely worth it !

A lot of effort has obviously gone into both capturing and editing this stunning image and the result is absolutely fantastic.

The light trails really does make this image stand out from the crowd. A well planned and executed shot deserving a place in the top 10.

I absolutely love the composition of this image, the light trails are a wonderful leading line taking the viewers eye on a journey through the image and then up into the milky way.

The edit is well balanced, subtle and totally worthy of a top 3 finish - well done !

This image is a great example of a milky way panorama.

It is clear that a good deal of effort went into both photographing and editing this particular image. The result was absolutely worth all of the effort and is deserving of a top 10 finish.

Comet Neowise was a real treat considering what we have gone through across the world in 2020. Easily visible to the naked eye and it resulted in some wonderful images from far and wide and this is one of them. Really well edited, well done !

I love both the subject and composition of this particular shot, a lot of people will always think that images like this are composited. Great detail and focus, a very well executed shot. A good degree of planning goes into images like this and it can all result to nothing when cloudy but sometimes lady luck is on our side !
