Great contest!

This photo also stuck with me from the beginning. Love the effect of the clouds on the photo with the castle in the clear standing out. The light on the clouds also brings out the details in the cloud texture. Well worth the second place, thanks for entering.

A great photo and narrowly missing out from a top ten place in a difficult contest. Lovely turquoise seas and sandy islands. I also liked seeing the clouds from the above.

Love this classic Scottish Highlands scene, with the scenic road, rocky hills and small looking old pier complex (?). Great morning/evening light which enhances the image even further with the shadows bought in behind the light.
A worthy top ten, thanks for entering.

Great atmosphere in this shot. This looks to be a small country side village with the church as well. The morning light from the sunrise further adds to the image with the warm colours. A worthy top ten, thanks for entering.

A nice photo from Romania. A great cloud inversion in the valley with the hills/mountains showing up well in the distance. I always enjoy a cloud inversion but have caught limited inversions myself. A worthy top ten image, thanks for entering.

Love this morning desert scene. It's one of a few entries which stuck with me from the start. I liked the patterns of the desert leading down to the sea. The orange desert against the turquoise sea is also a good contrast. A worthy top ten place, thanks for entering.

A superb winning photo which stuck with me from when I first saw it entered. The sun catching on part of the landscape brings out the depth and the additional balloons bring further interest to the image. Well done and thanks for entering, a well deserved winner to this competition.

This photo stuck with me from the start. Not quite a landscape I had expected, but it drew me in with its maze of lights and roads/streets. I found myself studying this photo for a good amount of time following the lines of light. A worthy top ten image, thanks for entering.

This is a superb image. I liked the pre sun rise/post sun set colours of the red sky with the snowy mountains detail. A great level of sharpness across this image also. A worthy top ten image, so thanks for entering.

A great light in this scene from Devon and lovely clouds against the blue sky. Great scene.
