Our judge had an incredibly difficult decision to make, with 32 beautiful photographs to choose from from the subject A Winter’s Scene
January - Photography Competition Results
Frozen Pastures - Catherine Ingham
In January we had sunshine, rain, and a lovely sprinkling of snow! Winter was well and truly biting with temperatures dropping and the ground sparkling.
Frozen Pastures - Catherine Ingham
Coming in at first place was…FROZEN PASTURES (left) taken by CATHERINE INGHAM! Our judge explained why she chose this photo as the winner.
“It’s a wonderful representation of a winter scene. You’ve got the mist, the blue skies, the frozen grass, and little areas of orange showing the last signs of autumn.”
Amongst The Frost - Emma Sharples
Second place was awarded to AMONGST THE FROST by EMMA SHARPLES!
“How lovely to see two deer in one photograph – add the frost and it’s a lovely winter image. The photographer must have been so quiet and delicate to capture this photos - this takes pure skill and patience - a wonderful photograph.”
Rising Fog - Andrew Stannard
Rounding out the top three this month was RISING FOG by ANDREW STANNARD. Our judge really enjoyed this shot, saying:
“A stunning photograph of our unique Visitor Village – the sepia colour pallet adds a cold, wintery feel while still providing the wonder of our floating reserve.”
