I'm not usually a fan of cityscapes but I really like this one, I dunno whether it's the black and white conversion or the heavy vignette that's got my attention but whatever it is it looks good. The long exposure is done well, not too much movement that it's made things unrecognisable but enough to give a good sense of movement and drama!
I love this, shallow depth of field landscapes aren't seen too often in these competitions and I'm always stumped as to why as they look great. The colours are lovely too, and although the composition is pretty straightforward it's got no distractions and works really well. I like the processing too, you've made a really nice job of this. Well done on the win.

Those are some pretty spectacular rays, made even more beautiful by the reflections! The sky above the rays is maybe a bit overexposed but I know it's difficult under these types of conditions to keep all the highlights contained. I like the way you've composed this and cropped it to a letterbox format, it looks lovely.
