Ice spikes, Glencoe, by Pete Rowbottom: “I had set out to shoot sunrise upriver and, with the freezing weather, I was hoping to find frozen pools of ice with radiating lines that I could use as foreground. The sunrise wasn’t the best but walking along the river I saw this unusual and dramatic formation, and knew I had my spot”. Overall winner.

Fisherman on rocks in strong westerly winds, Porth Nanven, Cornwall, by Mick Blakey: “I hoped to photograph a serene sunset – but was in for a shock. There had been strong winds, which resulted in a big Atlantic swell. Initially disappointed, I started to notice spray around the cliffs as the waves were breaking – backlit by the sun. I sat happily on the rocks photographing the waves but then the magic happened … a fisherman appeared in frame”. Living the view, adult class – winner.

Blizzard in the High Peak, Derbyshire, by John Finney: “After a difficult journey in the snow, I made my way from Mam Tor down onto the Great Ridge. As the clouds got darker, I placed the tripod and camera at just the right angle to avoid snow getting onto the lens, and used a flash gun and a relatively slow shutter speed to highlight the fast motion of the blizzard”. Classic view, adult class – winner. (Photo by John Finney/Landscape Photographer of the Year)

Raindrops on the washing line, Hertfordshire, by Peter North: “I was fascinated by the concept of submitting an image where the main component occupies about 90% of the frame, is completely out of focus and needs a macro approach to make sense of it all! This was one of those chance shots and, because I did not have my DSLR with me, it was captured with my iPhone”. Your view, adult class – highly commended.

Field of red and a beautiful morning, Houghton, West Sussex, by Marie Davey: “As I reached the top of the hill I was greeted by a sea of red poppies, rolling hills and just the right amount of mist in the valley below. As the sun rose above the horizon, the colours in the poppies were breathtaking – the 2.45am alarm was absolutely worth it!”. Classic view, adult class – shortlisted.

Rain didn’t stop play, Aberdyfi, Wales, by Josh Cooper: “I had been photographing a regatta and when the heavens opened headed for shelter at the Yacht Club. As I was walking back along the beach I noticed a couple of umbrellas which I thought had been abandoned. As I got closer, I saw they were sheltering two children who were continuing to play quite happily beneath them”. Living the view, adult class – shortlisted.

Emerald greens of an enchanted woodland, Peak District, by Darren Ciolli-Leach: “I had been out since 4.15am with a fellow photographer but we had been plagued by midges, even at that early hour.

Storm Ophelia, Porthcawl pier, Bridgend, by Rachel Brown: “I knew this storm was due to put on a spectacular display and the media coverage of its arrival made me eager to go and capture it. I’ve seen many images of the waves pounding off the pier and I really wanted to capture something different. I waited three hours to get this shot”. Classic view, adult class – shortlisted.
