1st Steve Langton, Lancashire 43pts
Steve took this image in the kitchen of a friend?s house near Bagni di Lucca in Tuscany, Italy. ?It was an old traditional Italian house that happens to have a great view from the window,? says Steve. ?I was trying to create the effect of A Room with a View, capturing both the attractive features of the traditional Tuscan farmhouse and the beautiful landscape outside?
Judges say We love the way the dining paraphernalia in the foreground balances with the view of the rolling hills outside. The rustic colours and use of natural light complement the image perfectly
2nd Lee Jeffries, Lancashire 42pts
Canon EOS 5D, 24mm, 1/120sec at f/4.1, ISO 100
?I took this image at the civic centre in Bolton, Lancashire,? says Lee. ?I originally wanted to capture the streaming light and the rest of the image developed from there?
Judges say There is something rather beguiling about Lee?s image. His sensitive portrayal of light and subject is quite breathtaking
3rd Simona Bonanno, Italy 41pts
Nikon D80, 18-35mm, 1/60sec at f/3.5, ISO 400
?Cinemas where I live used to be intimate and unique,? says Simona. ?Today they all seem the same and the people look confused and lost?
Judges say A superb composition, wonderfully executed ? well done!
