Pretty birdie.

This one has a more natural character to it.

This'll do fine. Very imaginative use of the Theta to exploit the tangle of leaves, and well done on getting your eyes peeping in.

My fave of the b&ws; winning composition.

Great. Love the colours and clarity. Interesting set of lenses you took with you.

After flitting back and forth, I lean strongly toward the ones (like here) where the upper branches are in focus.
And this is my second place-getter from the black and whites.

Nice application and result from/of the Rok.

Super. Lume cube(s)? These trees look a little familiar - is this a spot you visited with your IR filter a couple of years back?

Technically the "best" - a really appealing evening image. I get the long exposure time for the cloud movement, but even allowing for the uwa, the stars are pretty close to point form, so ... the star frame was using Astrotracer? The other thing I notice is some faint green shading on the right - just the right colour for a diffuse aurora, and yet you're a bit far South to get that - the Sun's been very quiet while you were away.

Sloppy or not, this one appeals to me most, primarily because of the illuminated trees.
