Commenting on Samuel's winning image, Steph said,

What an incredible image! The entire scene is beautifully captured and really does the landscape justice. I love how the natural curves in the foreground are mimicked in the sky and perfectly frame the amazing rock formations featured in the shot. I think everybody would love to spend a night under the stars like this. Amazing work Sam!
