Some absolute belters, thanks for that. Might just be me and my technical incompetence, but the full-screen/blown-up versions of each photo have the bottom cut off - particularly noticeable on page 5, for example. Also, it seems to be missing the full-page version of the 3rd place photo (of the ice climber). Using Chrome if that's of any relevance.

I absolutely have no problems with any of the winners. They are without exception all first class stunning images. Well done for allowing a higher resolution so the full quality is readily apparent. It was very useful having a commentary about each of the images as its helps our understanding of what and how the image was conceived. And well done to all the winners, and not forgetting the judges who have chosen so well.finally, I really enjoyed seeing all these beautiful images.

Just to reiterate what I said on Facebook congratulations to everyone that took part, some stunning images. Thanks very much to UKC for hosting the competition, Marmot for sponsoring and Tim Glasby for judging. I think the gallery and the active voting system is one of UKC's big advantages over other climbing sites. I constantly find myself noting down photogenic climbs and viewpoints that other users have shared.

Hi all

I enjoyed seeing all the fantastic shots this year.I was flattered to find my picture of Aurora in Assynt used to advertise the competition and even happier to see it had the most votes in the Landscape category as you can still see on the competition gallery page at the close of play(and indeed all the way through voting) yet it didn't win the category.Why??
I'm perplexed about this one as it had 96 votes at the end and the announced winning shot had 84.

Its not the number of votes that counts. The other photographs may of had less votes but more fives than yours.
Hope this helps.
