1st Ian Ewing<\/strong>, Devon 48pts
\nCanon EOS 550D, 55mm, 1\/160sec at f\/5.6, ISO 100<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018Brunel in the Mist’ <\/p>\n

Judges say: \u2018This epic image stood out immediately due to its bold, dramatic atmosphere, as well as its strong subject matter. The boat in the left-hand corner is a beautiful compositional and narrative touch. A really great job.’<\/p>\n

<\/img><\/p>\n

2nd Alf Bailey<\/strong>, The Wirral 47pts
\nNikon D700, 24-70mm,\u00a0 1\/2000sec at f\/4, ISO 400<\/em><\/p>\n

Building and bike <\/p>\n

Judges say: \u2018Alf has fallen upon a great simple subject here. As with Ian’s shot the narrative possibility of what we’re seeing is a real plus point and the strong use of monochrome adds much to the overall image.’<\/p>\n

<\/img><\/p>\n

3rd Jay Heiser<\/strong>, USA 46pts
\nCanon EOS 50D, 17-55mm, 1\/20sec at f\/18, ISO 800<\/em><\/p>\n

Row of balconies, Tokyo, Japan <\/p>\n

Judges say: \u2018This striking graphic shot gets a little closer to the subject matter than our previous two images, and succeeds due to its excellent use of colour and shape. A visually appealing and interesting image.’\n <\/p>\n
