Thanks to all involved

I have just found out that I came 2nd in the Planet Earth category. I am speechless and overwhelmed!!

Congratulations to all winners and participants.

I would be very grateful if someone could possibly make some photographs at the exhibition and share them. I found it impossible to get from Helsinki to London for many reasons.

My best to each and everyone of you

Delighted to see the £10,000 prize going to an Icelandic enrty - this beautiful country and its lovely inhabitants certainly deserve a break - especially after its recent "financial woes".

The winning image was indeed outstanding - it far outshone all other entries - congratulations to Bragi J. Ingibergsson - you produced not only a top quality, eye catching image - but an extremely unique one.

Regards Gil.

Well done, Bragi! The photograph is stunning in so many different ways. I love the light, the tones, the compositiion, simply everything about it.

Well done to the winner - a lovely image with great composition and atmosphere. I have to say though, and it is only my personal opinion, that I am surprised by some of the other 1st 2nd and 3rd placed images in some of the categories. I base this opinion on some of the most superb pictures I have seen during the download period before the competition closed to entries, of which none are winners!
This is not a criticism of the Judges as there was obviously a great deal of consideration before choosing, but I am now really puzzled as to what is perceived to be a winning picture.

This is very enjoyable news of a respected rector and senior priest of a big congregation within the National Church of Iceland, a colleague and a friend The winning picture is witnessing to his many talents and refined personal qualities. Congratulation sr. Bragi.

Thank you so much!
I awoke this morning to discover that I'd made it to 3rd place in the Destination Everywhere category with my shot The S.S. Perception! I am having a hard time typing this from the floor (shock has still not worn off) but do want to thank the judges and everyone involved. I am truly humbled to be considered among such talented artists.
Congratulations to all the winners and thank you again.

Hi to everybody, I'm happy too!! I was there, at the private view, because my picture is highly commended, Destination Everywhere category.

It has been a very exciting and nice evening, very nice people among photographers, editors, winners, organizers :-) Congratulations to everybody! I was so surprised and happy and a bit nervous that I've began only late in the evening to realize where I was and why...

Thank you everybody for the wonderful evening again!
