Keswick, Lake District <\/p>\n

Judges say: \u2018It wasn’t easy picking a
\nwinner this round, considering the strength of our top three, but Ian just
\npipped it with his atmospheric image. The contrast of light and dark is

Judges say: \u2018Forests and woodlands are full of possibilities
\nand here Sirsendu has used the monochrome,\u00a0

Judges say: \u2018Sometimes the most
\ncaptivating images are the most simple. This shot from Brian makes use of
\nvibrant natural colour and subtle vignetting to draw attention to the subject.’ <\/p>\n
