1ST PLACE PRIZE WON: 50 SBD

Judges notes

The use of neutral tones combined with a longer eexposure made this image stand out. I like how my eye was drawn up the river from left to right as I explored the scene. The scattered buildings also balanced out the composition perfectly.

Judges notes

Hive account@fiftysixnorth captured a glowing landscape that deserves a win. What caught my eye was the warmth of light peeking over the horizon. What would have been nice to see was more clouds in the sky but considering what was in front of the photographer the image turned out quite nicely
