A magnificent shot of a famous landmark. Sure, this image can only be achieved with a drone, but it not just that it is an angle that is not often seen. Everything comes together perfectly. The beautiful soft light, the low tide and great composition. A wonderful photo and a worthy winner.

A wonderfully executed shot from Berlin. It's a testimony to modern architecture and design. I love the muted colours that almost make this feel like a painting. But what really elevates this shot is the person to give us a sense of scale. Great shot.

Two major things that define an experience someone would have in Havana - El Capitolo and classic cars. The only things missing are a cigar-smoking local and the Malecon. A really great photo showing a different view of such a photographed building. The framing is perfect and the moody sky works perfectly in black and white. Well done to the photographer.

An epic shot that would look amazing on any wall. It also features a best friend for photographers - mist. The low mist in the tree in the foreground is magnificent. If only there was a little less in left side of the image, but hey that's not the photographer's fault. Overall a really nicely composed and executed shot.

A lovely shot that has been executed superbly. The combination of the dark water and bright boat and net looks like you are looking at an underwater scene with a giant jellyfish. It's probably not right for this particular category of contest, but a great shot nonetheless.
