I really like this shot , although it’s not as big and dramatic as some it is an excellent photo that deserves recognition, I love the lighting and the textures in this and the timing is perfect . It has a really sharp and magnetic feel to it. Well done on this unique capture

I absolutely love this shot for so many reasons , it’s absolutely striking and really draws the viewer in. I really wish I had more than 10 top spaces as this very narrowly missed out of what I can only call a world class competition. Well done and very highly commended .

I love this shot it is beautiful and I’m gutted that I’ve had to push it slightly out of a top 10 spot I just don’t have enough spaces in what I can only describe as a seriously world class competition. Well done this is fantastic and really caught my eye ,highly commended .
