Round Six: The Best of the Rest

The APOY judges choose their favourite images that didn't make the top ten of our Night and Low Light category

- 

Jessica Miller, deputy online editor, chooses Moon-lights by Rob Reynolds, Plymouth

Sony A7 Mark III, 28-200mm at 200mm, 1/125sec at f/8, ISO 2000

Jessica says: 'Regular night photographer Rob has captured the perfect moment the moon has risen over a streetlight, transforming a familiar urban fixture into something more unusual.

'I was drawn to the minimalist but playful composition of this shot - it's a compelling example of creativity, timing and perspective. Thanks to the positioning and angle of the photographer, at first glance the moon looks like a glowing bulb perched at the top of the light, or a golf ball on a tee. The crop to square draws our attention to the story in the frame, while the evenly spaced streetlights and the centrally placed moon on the tallest light on the left, naturally encourages the viewer's eye to read the image from left to right.'

Geoff Harris, deputy editor, chooses Stone Guardians of the Night by Matteo Strassera, Rome, Italy

Canon EOS R5, 14mm, 120sec at f/3.5, ISO 4000
