Took me a minute to figure out nr2, made it even better.

I'll start with my top ten and then a few honorable mentions (in no particular order):
Hoodoos lit by the last remaining hints of twilight as the stars come out above a remote New Mexico wilderness.
Clouds race by well after sunset in this long exposure taken in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Star trail from under Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. A unique processing approach made the Milky Way pop from within the image.
Probably the most gorgeous supercell I've seen while chasing. This beast churned towards me while I captured a 200+ image timelapse of it.
The South Window in Arches National Park under a beaming Milky Way.
This was an incredible morning in the San Juan mountains. Fresh snow, cold temps, and a perfectly still pond.
One of the best aurora shows of the year. This was captured in Iowa, well south of where the auroras usually make an appearance.
Pretty cool wall cloud here! Right as this supercell started ramping things up, this wall cloud decended in a near-perfect cylinder from the base. A couple minutes later, it was spinning faster than just about any storm I've ever seen yet didn't drop a tornado with me being only a quarter to half mile away.
Another beautiful morning in the San Juan mountains.
Last but certainly not least in the top 10, a rare "self portrait" taken gazing up at the stars under Delicate Arch.
Honorable Mentions:
The dark skies in the Bisti Badlands are something to behold.
The mammatus of a passing storm light up at sunset. This was taken at Toadstool Geologic Park in northwestern Nebraska - an incredible area that is very, very rarely photographed.
Unique capstone rock formations in the Bisti Badlands.

1. Campus point, UCSB - More of an image that brings me back to college, as I used to surf here throughout my 4 years of school
2. Alkali Lake, Eastern Sierras - One of the first times I tried my hand at the Milky Way
3. Sunrise Point, Hurricane Ridge, Olympic national park - had to get up early and drive/hike to this point just to be greeted with clear skies but had to make the best of it
4. 2nd beach, Olympic national park - hiked out to this beach the night before to understand where it was and how I might try to shoot it but everything changed in the morning when a thick layer of fog covered the beach. Took this as the fog was clearing. Only me and 1 other shooter that am
5 - 7. Eastern Sierras around mammoth and the June Loop - I'm here once a year for the fall colors
8-10. Some local stuff which I told myself I was going to get out and do more

Excellent video tutorial! I am an Aperture plus plugins user because the learning curve on PS is too steep for me, but I believe I can do everything you did with what I have. Nice work

anwmn1 - Shots 3 and 4 are killer. Love the light bleeding out of the background onto the scene!
captnemo - Those cave shots are awesome! I especially like the fourth with the backlighting and fog.
