Photo one ....Cathedral

This is a stunning, complex building and every detail is in focus.

I like the leading line of the pathway which draws us towards the entrance.

Perhaps more could have been made of the shadows to create more depth and the image seems a little off kilter.

However overall this is a lovely, serene image.

Photo two.....Archways

This rather dramatic image leads the eye through the dark passage and into the light beyond.

It's an interesting way to photograph architecture and build in a "story".

The focus is really good - capturing the details of the stonework and the range of colours within it.

I love the composition and the full frame approach.

It came very close to being the winner.

Photo three......Houses of Parliament

An impressive photograph of our seat of government.

The colour of the building almost sings - particularly where the light hits the inner courtyard.

The diagonals of the river and the road work well to emphasise the building. Excellent focus to capture the detail - even the far distance is clear.

Quite an arresting shot.

Photo four......Bridge/Aquaduct WINNER

This innovative view of a bridge arch is rather beautiful and quite artistic.

There are spectacular colours within the brickwork. The rusts are vibrant, the dark shadow gives depth and the white markings really pop.

The definition is excellent. You can see every brick and every leaf on the shrubs.

The composition is great with the base of the arch giving a kind of robust grounding and the blue sky proving a natural framing. Works well on every level.
