Really nice composition and good exposure (it can't have been that easy to stop the planes while exposing everything else correctly). 8.

THe light on the hands looks slightly unnatural - while it would seem deliberate I'm not entirely sold. Regardless, it's a good concept and the stop motion is excellent. 8.

Great perspective (that almost goes without saying I suppose). I hope the trip was fun - this shot works really well.

Lovely colours - almost mystical. Enchanting and relaxing at once.

Good catch here. The diagonal composition adds drama to what might otherwise be a fairly straightforward and uninspiring shot. 8.

Well you've really brought out the colours of the sky here. I'm guessing this took some doing in post (but it must have been a great sunset to start with). Really like the composition. There appears to be some weird halo'ing of some kind at the top of the inland water, but that might just have occurred in the resizing. Still, very nice. 8.

This is very nice - the harsh light of the moon perhaps detracts slightly from the subtlety of the rest of the image, but I like it regardless. 8.

Easily my favourite. Magical use of contrast and light. Will be disappointed (but not necessarily surprised) if you don't win.

Good Luck!

In case you hadn't guessed - the above equates to a solid 10.

Awesome. Conceptually terrific, and executed almost to perfection. The first shot I clicked, on but I can say with some confidence that this will be one of the best.

My Adventure: Scenic Whale Watching

Well the light is a bit flat - shame this wasn't later in the day, but it's well composed, fits the challenge nicely, and the whale is a great addition.
