Many thanks to all who entered the photographic competition, and especially to Louise Welsby and Richard Childs for judging, plus our wonderful sponsors for the fantastic prizes. Â Here are the winners:
Overall and winner of Quirky class.
“Both Richard and I absolutely love this image. It is so well framed and incredibly atmospheric. I love the angles in the shot, the way the light hits the man’s face and the seamless way that the smoke from the engine becomes one with the clouds.”
Winner of Landscape Class
“This is a stunning shot and one very hard to capture perfectly, yet Alex has done just that. The movement of the horse and its positioning in the frame with the landscape so beautifully captured make this a worthy winner of the landscape class.”
Winner Activities and Events
“I learnt a lot from Richard judging this shot. He was particularly impressed with the lines, the perfect position of the walkers in the frame and the way in which your eye is held in all three thirds of the image. Peter’s photograph is a worthy winner of the Activities and Events category.”
Runner up, Landscapes
“This is a beautiful image. Richard was on the look out for photoshopped features and the flight above the inversion in this image is clearly a wonderful moment captured above the landscape. It is a gorgeous photograph and worthy prize winner.”
Runner up, Quirky
“I love this photograph by Jerry Hughes for its shapes and lines. It is a really clever shot and worthy prize winner.”
Highly Commended
