"This image stood out as a showcase of the beauty that can be created by our natural world. The colours in this shot are gentle on the eye, the simple yet powerful position of the cheetah with the fading light of day is just spectacular, and the subtle yet encompassing presence of the moon makes this image complete. It is stunning." - Rachel Stewart
"Another stunning image where the moon takes centrefold. The colours of the receding sunset are beautiful, and the landscape scene is incredible. The composition with the foreground rocks and centred road are a great leading line into the picture. " - Rachel Stewart
"I love all the elements that draw this image together. The way the stag and the moon stand out in alignment, and the other deer looking on .. it feels very natural. The moon is perfectly exposed and the deer in silouette create such a beautiful scene. A simple yet powerful image." - Rachel Stewart
