What the judges said:
"This winning photograph has managed to capture that rare, magical moment between stormy weather when the sun and clouds blend to create painterly light. This, combined with Max’s unique camera setup has produced an image of outstanding artistic merit.
It's clear that Max's artistic vision and the dramatic natural elements aligned perfectly in this composition. It's always a wonderful experience when the photographer's intention is realised in the final result.
I am delighted to once again award a beautiful garden shot as the IGPOTY Overall Winner, many congratulations to Max."
