The teenager was inspired by the endless buzz of Glasgow city centre for his second victorious shot.
"It was taken on a freezing Friday night in December!
"I had found this location by looking at local maps of Glasgow, I was looking for somewhere where I could get above the traffic and see both directions. I used a longer exposure time,
which forced me to use a tripod, but allowed me to create the light trails from the cars.
"The long sweeping road coming up from the left was something I wanted to make sure I included as it really adds to the feel of movement."

Lesley Smith took the 'Urban view' prize for her photograph of the moment the iconic Red Road flats came down in Glasgow.

Demolition was due to be 1pm but there was a delay and by 12 the crowd was beginning to grow .

I had taken my tripod and had quite a good spot and refused to move for the next few hours."
The 44-year-old medical secretary did not realise she had captured the moment so clearly until the dust settled.
"The ground was shaking and I think I took about 15 shots in total. As the dust was settling I had a quick peek at my camera and sighed with relief that I had them all in focus."
