“Whilst climbing in Glencoe, Scotland, I noticed this blue haze in the distance, shrouding the landscape in mystery. I switched to my long lens and took this image over the loch”

Loch Awe, Damian Waters – winner, lines in the landscape
6
“I’d conceived this image in my head before arriving on location and had checked the train departure time from Loch Awe. The train was delayed and I thought the evening would close in too quickly, but the train emerged from the gloom just in the nick of time”

Windmill in the Mist, Itay Kaplan – winner, historic Britain
7
“I had to travel for work, so I decided to start very early to capture sunrise. Due to fog forecast, I decided to visit a well-known woodland nearby, but on my way, I realised that I forgot my hiking boots, so woodland wouldn’t work. Luckily, I always have a plan B, so I added another 10 minutes to my drive to visit this beautiful windmill and capture this photo”

Oh! Limpet Games, Simon Turnbull – winner, your view
8
“I love finding little details in nature. I discovered this scene wandering along the beautiful Devon coast. The rock formation with its intriguing lines and colours provided a wonderful composition, the limpets adding story and interest, playfully sliding down the gully like an Olympic bobsleigh team”

Dawn Reflection, Natasha Burns – overall youth winner
9
“Winter dawn breaking at Loch Creran, Argyll”

Souls Tied, Paul Killeen – winner, black and white
10
“This is a very poignant and personal image. A good friend of my wife’s sadly passed away in 2021. Lynsey was diagnosed with a brain tumour in October 2015. When diagnosed, she was informed that she would be lucky to see Christmas that same year. However, Lynsey bravely battled the cancer for five and a half years before she passed on 11 April 2021. This image was made on 14 April 2021, the morning of Lynsey’s funeral. As soon as I saw the two birds fly into my frame, I was immediately reminded of Lynsey and her husband, Simon”

Ascension, Demiray Oral – winner, classic view
11
“I knew thunderstorms were forecast, so when I saw their path alongside the windows of sunshine and where this would break through on the relevant weather apps, I decided I’d go and wait for a rainbow to appear at one of my favourite locations. Whilst I wasn’t surprised when it did, I still could not believe what unfolded in front of me. The apparition of the rainbow was wonderful, but the light sweeping across the Dragon’s Back was just sensational … It was a thrilling afternoon I’ll never forget”

Brecon in Winter, Will Davies – overall winner
12
“Dawn sunlight warms up a winter’s morning in the Brecon Beacons. This image was taken from the Pen-y-Crug hillfort, which provides a spectacular panorama of Brecon and the surrounding mountains. On this December morning, sunlight broke through a clearing snowstorm, adding a wonderful burst of warmth and colour to the scene. I used a telephoto lens to help compress the sunlit fields and distant snowy hills”
