“The fantastic landscape of Bagan in Myanmar features hundreds of temples and pagodas as far as the eye can see. Experiencing this sight at dawn from the basket of a hot air balloon will remain engraved in my memory for ever. Mick Ryan, judge – What a magical photograph and place.

An excellent, exotic photograph that makes you want to book a flight”. (Photo by Alastair Swan/The Guardian)
