<\/img>1st Chris Bennett<\/strong>, Warwickshire 46pts <\/p>\n

Canon EOS 7D, 17-55mm, 1\/640sec at f\/7.1, ISO 100<\/p>\n

Sk\u00f3gafoss, Iceland <\/p>\n

Judges say: ‘This round presented a daunting task for the judges. When faced with so many strong images, how do you pick a winner? After much thought, first prize was awarded to Chris Bennett with his truly dramatic shot taken in Iceland, a location that is a constant inspiration to photographers. The cascading water is awe-inspiring and Chris has selected just the right angle and position to give us a sense of scale<\/p>\n

<\/img>2nd Freddie Ardley<\/strong>, Gloucestershire 45pts <\/p>\n

Fujifilm FinePix HS10, 4mm, 1\/600sec at f\/6.4, ISO 100<\/p>\n

Nepalese Himalayas <\/p>\n

Judges say: ‘Freddie’s shot of a lake beneath a large glacier was taken while he was trekking in the Nepalese Himalayas. His image shows us something truly amazing. That’s one of the joys of photography – it can bring us experiences that we may not otherwise encounter on our own travels. This is a truly strange image with a stark tonal range that makes the location seem almost otherworldly.’<\/p>\n

<\/img>3rd Keith Aggett<\/strong>, Devon 44pts<\/p>\n

Canon EOS 5D Mark II, 24-105mm, 71secs at f\/18, ISO 100, ND110 filter, 1.2 SE Cokin grad<\/p>\n

Berry Head, Devon <\/p>\n

Judges say: ‘Like Freddie in second place, Keith has used the medium of black & white to bring a sense of awe and mood. This shot of Berry Head in Brixham, Devon, is particularly notable for the milky tide line that guides our eye through the image’.<\/p>\n
