I suspected this might be you Rian. Congrats on a great finish and another Ribbon. Lovely shot and your (and your wife's) patience paid off

I'm guessing this is Dwayne wizardry. Nice shot and I anticipate it will do well - maybe a bit higher than a 6.7 so about 0.7 above your average. I am currently about 0.7 above my average too... so good luck to you and may the best man win :-)
I probably would have tried to frame it a bit more to the left. The RHS feels a bit empty to me... the rocks on the left are cut off, the sun is a bit central and the water on the right is void of interest. Nit picking of course as I have already said it is a nice shot!
PS - didnt vote

A good score and a nice finish. Sofia may be distracting to some... but hopefully for the right reasons :-). Well done Jason

A nice shot too and a lovely silhouette. Yes the flare wasn't huge and probably would have made this nice simple shot worse. Looks like you will win your BYOAK - well done

I think this turned out very nicely. The poof of powder is excellently exposed and I like the composition too. Good luck! GO VILLAGE BURNERS

Where have I seen those butterflies before? I hope this entry doesn't get a DQ for a reflector disappearing this time! Lighting is awesome as usual and the lens flare is subtle and gentle just like butterflies!

Looks like a william88' sky! (Take that as a compliment! - sorry got the name wrong the first time, corrected now)
Yes obviously a long exposure was used to capture this scene and the stars. Something is a bit weird with your PP. It looks like most of the vegitation is still but on the top right of the dark hill and right of the orange rock there is some funny blurring where hill meets sky. Will probably do quite well regardless

Superb execution! I echo all the good points already mentioned below.
You have brought the best out of this scene and the result is a well deserved ribbon! Congrats
