Winner: The Cave of the Wild Horses by Bryony Richards

Located in the heart of the desert in Southern Utah, the Cave of the Wild Horses makes for a fairy-tale place to take astrophotographs. There is copious wildlife, petroglyphs (rock carvings), rock varnish, and a framed view of the summer Milky Way in its entrance.

Bryony says “This photograph is one of the most complicated that I have ever taken due to the location of the cave and the number of foreground images shot. Getting to the cave involves a long hike through the desert over sandstone plateaus, through brush and desert sand, while being serenaded by the frogs of the area."
