For a while, he struggled to take in the information \u2013 which was relayed in a phone call from the contest\u2019s founder Charlie Waite, one of the world\u2019s most highly respected landscape photographers. <\/p>\n

Charlie told Mark that his image of a stream after heavy rain, dwarfed by Glencoe, had eclipsed thousands of other entries to take the \u00a310,000 top prize. <\/p>\n

\u2018I suppose all I can say is that I just felt pure joy,\u2019 said Mark, who described the moment in the caf\u00e9 as a \u2018surreal experience\u2019. <\/p>\n

\u2018When you enter the competition, you hope against hope that you get an image in the book and you can\u2019t really consider the possibility that you will win.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Commenting on the winning shot, Charlie Waite said: \u2018Mark discovered and isolated a fleeting moment of beauty within a vast and slightly threatening arena. <\/p>\n

\u2018The composition compels us to visually explore the image, and its delicacy and understatement are enormously satisfying. <\/p>\n

\u2018I am very much looking forward to seeing the subtle colours and painterly textures of the scene in the large- exhibition print.\u2019 <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Young Landscape Photographer of the Year was named as Sam Rielly, for his b&w shot of his mother walking in Anglesey. <\/p>\n

The best images from the competition are due to go on show at Waterloo Station in London from 1 December. <\/p>\n

The exhibition runs until 31 January 2015.<\/p>\n
