Winter Sunset on the bay | Christine Antunovich
"This sunset photo was taken at the Cupsoque beach on Long Island in New York. The colors of the sunset is so beautiful and perfect. It looks like a wispy fire it shines bright , on the chilly water the puffy white clouds are glistening under the fiery sky."
Head Judge Richard Bailey said: "It's a blustery day on the coast, perfect weather for a bracing stroll. Our attention is with the marsh reeds, but we are still drawn further into the picture by the muted colours of the sun setting far into the distance."
Kingfisher | Stephen Lucas
"I was very lucky to snap this beautiful bird by the river Teifi near Cardigan, West Wales."
Richard said: "This is an exquisite image of a Kingfisher. His back to us showing off his beautiful colours, he turns his head perfectly with that beak piercing the space in the front of him. The photographer has thrown the background out of focus so that there is nothing to distract us and know the photographer would have to have had a lot of patience to take this image."
Cwmyoy Church | Daniel Geeson
"St Martins church is a very crooked church because the ground has moved underneath it. The tower leans one way and the other end of the building leans the other so it looks wonky."
Richard said: "There are many parts to this image that keep us interested. Is the tower going to fall over, are the grave stones about to tumble? The very tumbledown nature of the tower and gravestones gives us an uneasy feeling about what should be a peaceful scene." ... See MoreSee Less
