BBC has a story this morning with the shortlisted images

Saw that this morning. Some of the shots are really stunning whereas there are a couple which IMHO are overprocessed (I guess everyone has different tastes).

Everyone's a critic.

I thought most of the images were superb!

Dare I say that none of the images on the BBC item fall into the ‘How on earth can that be a winning Astro image?’ category, unlike previous years.

Not if you're in the southern hemisphere.

Exceptional year with interesting, thoughtful and technically accomplished images.
