Norway (no aurora borealis)

This photo highlights a good Norwegian tradition perfectly. The composition is brilliant. The light hitting the drying fish is beautiful. And the eye is led very nicely through the rack to the framed sea and mountain behind. A lovely photo. Well done.

This photo is fantastic, the first time I looked at it I knew it was a winner. Wonderfully composed in all aspects. The colours are beautiful, the imposing cloud in the background adds to the atmosphere and my eye is perfectly drawn to the lone person highlighted by the sun. A wonderful photo, worthy of first place. Well done.

This photo is fantastic, the light on either side of the photo is wonderfully captured. Normally a centrally composed focal point wouldn't work, but in this instance the central mountain separates the 2 very different halves of the photo. A beautiful capture, very cleverly done. Well done.

The colour of this photo is perfect. I love the natural colours and shades of grey captured that is reminiscent of many days in Norway! I love the road leading into the photo that takes the eye to the focal point of the wonderful mountain behind. A very natural photo that is worthy of being in the top 5. Well done.

There were a few photos of this iconic stretch of buildings but this one really caught my eye. Beautiful lines and geometry emphasised by the gorgeous light, taken from a unique angle. I love the focal point of the buildings in the sun with the blurred foreground that really draws the eye to the highlighted buildings. Wonderful capture and well worthy of being in the top 5.
