I don't know if this will be viewable outside the UK, the winner was in Oregon, USA, so it ought to be? 40% of the entries were from outside the UK.

Very interesting crops and original captures.
I think that the full images are better than the crops in some!
Ah well to each his own

The winning image has an incredible dot of focus, suggesting to me perhaps large format view camera with a wide lens or a short PC lens. It must have been meticulously planned because there would have been little time for test exposures. The Sun's rise waits for no man, not even a photographer...
Putting it another way I don't think it could have been a 'happy accident'! Looking at the practicality, the photographer needed to be set up and in position pretty early in what appears to be a very remote location.
I agree about the crops but were they the photographers crops, or added later during the creation of the presentation by some clueless editor. My take is that for the most part the images will have been framed in camera, so the 'un-cropped' images will have been the submitted images, the cropping occurring later, for 'effect'. For me the effect was a detrimental.

JK, were you able to view the page normally (without using proxy server)? if so then it must be visible outside the UK?

Glad you could see them Kathy,
The BBC seem to have some silly notion about only allowing some stuff to be visible outside UK, yet they profess to be an open organisation?

Thanks Robert. I can learn a lot about composure from studying this presentation.

That's good Gary, I was very impressed. The use of textures and colors like the Kew glasshouse window scene, most people would have walked right past and ignored that if they even noticed it.
