As usual not an easy one this month but I reckon the one that does it for me is Peter Shahs The Boy and the Milky Way, a really nice atmospheric shot. Well done

Wow... thank you so much with so many superb images ....I have to say  it was a very special memory for me spending the time looking at the stars with my son.

Thank you again
