Second Place
Photo 1 – Emma Bunting
Judges comments:
“Personally loved this picture, it’s not over produced, its captures a moment, a scene of “walking the dogs” on a beautiful day under an amazing sky! It’s also very subtle in its narrative – and the sky says it all.”
“Such a beautiful photo and the dogs playing in the sea brings a happy feel to it and made me smile”
Third Place
Photo 6 – Ken Wilson
Judges comments:
“St Mary’s Lighthouse, this images skillfully produced,with beautiful blues and iconic features. Great texture and tone, the enhanced colours bring a modern touch to the photo, a joy to look at”
