Absolutely cracking images and deserved winner. Great subject and very unique image taken that has made the most of the aerial theme, use of lead in lines and perfectly complimented by the great textures and colors in the sky. Well done on winning

A very close second and all round fabulous image. Love the colors and texture and the way you can really feel the movement in the images. Great use of a drone to get something our of what would probably be a very flat scene from ground level.

really great image and nice use of color and pattern to provide some fantastic lead in lines. Really well execrated aerial shot and had only just out of the top spots. The image was let down slightly by appearing to be off axes

Realy nice and powerful abstract image. great use of perspective, lines and textures to a create a deep and impacting image. The slight angle really adds to the image and portrays a sense of depth and dynamic to the viewer. Great job

lovely texture and great use of the aerial theme. the lead in lines bring the ye nicely in to the dramatic scene and really make you feel the harshness of those rugged and unforgiving peeks. Only falling short with the lack of detail in the sky
