So we have to wait till eastenders has finished …

I wouldn’t know.

OK, everyone! The results you’ve all been waiting for are in!!!

The judges have scored all 57 entries, each judge’s scores have been ranked from 1st to 57th, all the ranks have then been averaged, and then those averages have been ranked for the final positions.

What the judges really noticed was the overall quality of the entries that made the judging very tricky, but all judges agree that the method used, and the result it created, has produced the correct result.

So - new shiny badges will be flying out as follows …

In 3rd place, winning the 2018 Golden Hour Winner - Bronze badge, is @sparkman999!! :trophy:

In 2nd place, winning the 2018 Golden Hour Winner - Silver badge, is @Homer!! :trophy: :trophy:

And … your winner … who receives the 2018 Golden Hour Winner - Gold badge is …… @BrianB!!! :trophy: :trophy: :trophy:

Congratulations to the winners, and congratulations all entrants for the quality of the photos and videos submitted.

The top 25 entrants are re-posted below in their final ranking positions.

Well done Brian, Clarence Pier has never looked so welcoming, and all with a Mavic Air! It’s not the lens, it’s the person behind it.
