Great contest!

I've seen a few of this sort of image in this competition but this beat the rest in my eyes. Great positioning of the cloud. A worthy top ten and thanks for sharing

Great photo. One of several that stuck with me. Challenging contest to judge with so many great entries. A worthy commend anyway.

This was one of a few images which caught my eye straight away. I've got a few long exposures with moving boats myself but I'm never happy with them but this just works. I like that they're all the same colour. I suppose I maybe would have taken another shot so the yellow boat out of the frame but I imagine thats a silly comment as I expect its very busy! A worthy top ten. Thanks for sharing

My sort of photo. Railways and Milkyway! Well worth a commend. Thanks for sharing.

Very special image - definitely caught my eye. And interesting bit of history to go with it. Thanks for sharing - a worthy commend.

Very close to being in my top ten. This was a challenging contest to judge. Loved your clear water and sharp rocks. Worthy commend. Thanks for sharing

Stunning image. I loved this straight away, lovely and sharp, lovely lighting. Expertly done. The blurry clouds just add to this shot. As soon as I saw this this was straight into the top ten - A worthy winner. Thanks for sharing.

A few of this sort of image in this contest but I liked the lighting and the reflecting of that into the water. Nice and sharp as well. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing photo - lovely colours of the aurora. Very challenging contest to judge but well worth a commend. Thanks for sharing.

Loved this. I love a bit of astro myself with milkyway and the Aurora. My brother lives on one of the Islands of Orkney so I've seen a few displays although nothing like this yet although its rarer further south. Great photo anyway - thanks for sharing.

I am looking for your best long exposure photos. By long exposure, I am meaning using a long duration shutter speed to sharply capture the stationary elements of images while blurring, smearing, or obscuring the moving elements. Be creative - I am looking for something different.

One of many images jumping out at me from the start making it a very challenging contest to judge. I love the colours catching on the sand and rocks. Thanks for sharing

I've not seen anything of this type before so caught my eye. Unfortunately a very difficult contest to judge but definitely worth a commend. Thanks for sharing.
