Great contest!

Wow! What a dramatic image, showing the power of the wind and the sea. You can almost feel as if you are there I like how you have processed the image. It certainly is worthy of second place in the competition. Well done

An absolutely stunning image, full of the colours of The Western Isles. The horizon is perfectly cropped on the 3rd. I knew this would be in my top 3 images as soon as I saw it. Congrulations on 1st place, it's well deserved. A worthy winner

A dramatic image that caputes the force of the sea and the power of a storm. The Outer Hebrides although a beautiful place can be wild and unforgiving as this image shows. The colours remind me of The Western Isles. Well done. I would gladly have this on my wall.

A very good ICM image, a technique that although simple to do can be difficult get an image this good. For those that don't know ICM is intentional camera movement. The camera is moved during the exposure for a creative or artistic effect. This causes the image points to move across the recording medium, producing an apparent streaking in the resulting image. This is a great example

I would like to see your best photos taken on the Outer Hebrides, also known as the Western Isles. The Outer Hebrides are an island chain off the west coast of mainland Scotland, and include the isles of Lewis and Harris. Images can be in colour or black and white and can be of any subject, but must have been taken on the Outer Hebrides. Please note the Isle of Skye is not amongst these islands.

This image brings back some memories for me having walked all the way down to the lighthouse and back. I think I still ache from it A beautiful landscape with lovely lighting, I'm presuming this was taken at dusk? Well done on your fifth place in the contest
