I love this because you have come up with a unique idea and then spent some time creating and taking the photo. It's certainly one of a kind.

A really clever idea that I had not seen before. Well done arranging this with such accuracy and precision- taking the photo afterwards was the easy part.

This is a great image, unique and well thought out. The composition, lighting and exposure are spot on but it is the clever idea that makes this unique. Having the cyclist just reach the top of their hill also gives a positive feeling. A worthy winner and something to aspire to creating on a dark winter evening at home.

Well done for creating such a great watery effect. This is a unique image and an inspiring technique to try in a tabletop session

A lovely created photo where you can appreciate the amount of work that has gone into it. The lighting and perfect symmetry of the flowers really make this special. It it a photo that inspires me to want to try for myself and I bet is very much harder than it seems.

High speed photos are amazing and challenging but this one is something special to catch the instant the glass smashes. There are very few as good as this one. I wonder how many glasses were broken before this perfect timing was achieved. A really good photo and worthy high placing.

This is a great photo, very well setup and then very well taken. Nice work.

Meet the judge

This is a great image. The clever light painting really compliments the paperweight which on it's own would not be a very interesting photo. Converting to B&W has pulled it all together to make something really interesting with the mirrored reflection adding greatly to it.

This is such a well setup and lit composition, it could almost be a natural landscape scene. I love the black background and well lit trees and shadows and it leaves me intrigued how the lighting was created. It is such a calming and satisfying photo but also inspires me to set up something and try learn how to light like this

A simple idea to start with maybe but a really well done use of lighting. It is an image I look at it really inspires me to spend a few winter evenings enjoying myself trying to make a similar image. I am quite sure it is much harder than it looks and I will struggle so well done for making this look so natural and balanced.

This is a really great setup for some toy dinosaurs. The setup is well arranged and the background blends in ok. There are hours of fun to be had creating scenes like this and you have done really well to create this.
