Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "story about tree " by tadejturk

"I really like the composition and elegant understated simplicity of this image. The horizontal streak of light that draws your eye to the lone tree and horizon, the rolling hill to the right perfectly framed." - James Rushforth

Congratulations Runner Up "Sunrise on the deck " by orcarts

"This image perfectly fits the ‘towards the horizon’ contest theme. The decking makes a perfect leading line towards a strong and interesting horizon that’s clearly defined. I like how the photographer has resisted the urge to use a long exposure as the ripples on the water really add to the shot." - James Rushforth

Congratulations Runner Up "Frozen City " by Eye_Shoot_Images

"This is an intriguing image that reminds me of ‘the day after tomorrow’, simultaneously telling a great story and raising a lot of interesting questions. The lone figure makes for a great foreground walks towards the frozen city, clearly defined against the horizon." - James Rushforth
