The talent and dedication to craft on display in these images is truly humbling. Irrespective of the results of the poll, all of these images are winners.

All very nice. I would love to know more about the exposure on #1, and what lens produced such a wonderful star effect of the sun?

There are several excellent images! Funny how one will just jump out at me despite the excellent line-up. I love everything about number 7. I love everything about many of the others however 7 captured my heart.

Well, out of all the splendid entries ,which to choose? I chose no 8 but it could easily have been almost any of the others.

#5, with 12 and 7 runners-up. Lighting and cropping made the difference for these.

Since the voting is over I guess I can reply to this. It was a single exposure, handheld because I didn't have my tripod with me and I was shooting from a bike. Parameters were: 29mm, f/11, 1/45, ISO 100. I was shooting in aperture priority with multi-segment metering, with -1 EV exposure compensation in order to preserve the highlights and relying on the amazing dynamic range of the K-1 in order to bump up the shadows at post-processing.

Lens used was DFA 24-70mm which has quite nice flare resistance for a zoom and in the right conditions produces nice starbursts. Also, this has to do with stopping down the lens and waiting for the right moment when the sun is partially obscured by the trees in order to get the starburst. This usually doesn't last too long as the sun goes down quite fast, so you have to be swift.

You can find the full resolution picture and some others from the same series on my Flickr page here (somewhere in the middle of the page): Hattifnattar | Flickr

Thank you for your interest and thanks everybody who voted for my picture, congrats to the winners. It was an amazing contest.

The shapes in the ice in the foreground of #9 are really interesting and add a lot to the image. What exactly are they, and what causes them to form? I've not seen anything like that before.
Thanks! They are bubbles that form from gas rising from the bottom where plant matter is decaying. As the ice freezes down from the surface, bubbles keep coming from the same sources and getting frozen into the new ice making bubble stacks. It's fascinating!
