Photo one

Stately home…. Is it Wallington?

This is a beautiful photograph.

Great colours throughout and the pale lemon daffodils drifting off into the darker yellow flowers creates a natural leading line taking us to the building.

Really good composition with the trees to either side and the emphasis on the flowers in the foreground.

As a springtime image this is lovely.

Photo two

Northern lights. Winner

Apart from the difficulty of catching the lights in an image, the beauty of this shot lies in having interest in the foreground.

The tree and snowbank to the left draw us in while the skidoos and what look like dog kennels provide that juxtaposition of natural and man-made.

Great definition throughout and really good work in enhancing the sky without it becoming too artificial.

Overall, a really professional image.

Photo three

Illuminated building

A startlingly colourful image which grabs attention from the get go.

The focus is spot on with all the detail of the birds, beasts and people well captured

I do like the full frame approach…. it’s a brave choice, but works well here.

Not easy to get a night shot like this . It really stands out and would make a great poster

Photo four

The gate

I like the simplicity of this photograph.

The light is lovely. The dark shadows emphasise the spring colours and the red rust of the gate is almost neon against the natural colours in front and behind.

As a focal point the gate provides interest particularly as it doesn’t seem to serve much purpose. (apologies if it does) Interest also comes from the strong lines in the fencing and the tree trunk.

It works really well despite a non-conventional composition.
