1 Caron Steele UK 30pts
Canon EOS-1D X Mark II, 16-35mm at 16mm, 5sec at f/2.8, ISO 4000
An astonishingly beautiful image, which four of our judges awarded the full 10 marks out of 10. We see a great deal of Milky Way images in the course of producing AP, but so far we've received none like this, so it's gratifying and exciting to see a different, atmospheric and imaginative take on this technique. There's a mesmerising quality to the minimal light on the camel and figure in the foreground, with a gorgeous sense of space overall. Congratulations, Caron, on a well-deserved win!
2 Mike Morley UK 29pts
Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 16-35mm at 16mm, 1/8sec at f/4, ISO 1600
This was a very popular image with the judges for its inventiveness and faintly surreal approach.
