Personally I like this highly commended one the best, I think it's gorgeous:

Sumo Waggle Adventure - Lomaas River, Skanland, Norway - by Arild Heitmann (Aurorae, Highly Commended)

I do think some of the winners are very strange choices when there are loads out there far better.  But each to their own I guess.

Yeah, amazing. Really sets the standard. I applied earlier in the year with my solar eclipse timelapse but wasn't shortlisted.
