Ok, massive cliche time! I took this one back in 2016 after a couple of weeks touring Iceland. On the very last day of shooting, I finally managed to get in the right place at the right time.
I entered this shot into the International Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition in 2016 but got nowhere with it, which is my usual place with photography competitions!. However, it was interesting to see a shot from the same location on the same night make the selection the same year- https://www.theguardian.com/science...-of-the-year-2016-shortlist-in-pictures#img-3
Why do you think that shot was selected over mine?
Hope this doesn't come across as sour grapes, I really don't care about the competition, but just curious why one was picked over the other? I'm not sure if I did something wrong with the composition or where the processing could have been better. Feedback and thoughts welcomed!
