- Here is an extraordinary photograph, cold colours and drifting cloud shroud the buildings whose shapes make an intriguing, minimal, abstract and the most absorbing image that draws one in helplessly. Congratulations, you win this round !

- Wow, what a great surprise, thank you so much! This image was shot from a plane window shortly before landing at the Prague airport, Czech Republic. I have never seen anything like this before, I just got lucky to be at the right spot at the right time. The patch of low clouds/fog was not very large, surrounding only about these several buildings. The plane was obviously moving very fast, so the moment to catch this image lasted only for several seconds. So glad I was quick enough to capture this surreal image!

- An original shot looking up over New York with nice foreground interest and a good sky to frame the scene. Nice work and observation.

- Such a colorful mosaic of rooftops sprawl away into the distance. The aerial perspective works well for you, drawing interesting shapes and lines. Superb view, well done.

- Beautiful sunrise light over Golden Gate bridge, the panoramic shot adds so much to the composition of this classic view. The ship popping out of the fog is amazing, is that for real? Great shot !

- Thank you for the Mark of Excellence! This is a 4 image panorama taken with and Olympus PEN M4/3 and the kit lens. We came up late in the afternoon and saw the fog rolling in. I barely had time to set up the tripod to get the clean pan. I saw the ship getting engulfed and hoped I caught it in time!

- You have made a clever game of cables to cut up New York into a patchwork of light and beautiful night colour. It is a striking photograph.

- You have captured nice grey tones and weather and used the shoreline buildings effectively to divide the image into this most simple of compositions. Well done.

- It is the chaotic and busy side of this photograph that is appealing but add to that these amazing colours from the artificial light and the real depth of view and this is what you get. Wonderful city vibe.

- This is a stunning architectural shot where well spotted form and shape make the image. The buildings contrast nicely with each other and definitely have a big city feel. Nice work, well done.

- This is an interesting tinted monochrome from the top of Singapour’s big wheel which is perfectly placed over the marina for this impressive angle.

- 2 Marks of Excellence in one competition! Too cool. This was taken with an ultra wide zoom on an Olympus M4/3 camera. Had to apply a lot of correction to straighten out the buildings. The light wasn't all that good and the color was really flat, so the monochrome treatment was used. Thanks for the award!
