The Ride HomeOverall Winner Kym Morris - The Ride Home
What the judges said: "We thought this was a superb composition made in the moment - a classic documentary style picture, beautifully lit, to which one is automatically drawn because of the image's immediacy and authenticity. The wide-angle treatment and the children's mix of expressions combine to make observers feel they're part of the scene, and the fact it's in black and white really gets you focused on the children, their delight and expressions."
Category Winners
  • Active Adventures Winner: Barbara Reeves - Melting Moment
    What the judges said: "Combines an adventurous location, great light and the photographer being in the right place at the right time. It's deceptively easy to end up with a frame of white nothingness when shooting ice and show, but the shooter here has got the light and contrast spot-on, so that the crumbling glacier is shown in fine textural detail."

  • Naked Man Kissing Buddha

    People & Culture Winner: Xavier Hédoire - Naked Man Kissing Buddha
    What the judges said: "This is a thinking person's picture - it's subtle, sneaks up on you. You see the Buddha's feet immediately then you see the human figure, and slowly take in that he's naked, and also has bare feet. It's an extraordinarily intimate depiction of reverence and devotion."


  • Melting Point

    Wildlife & Wilderness Winner: Daniel Cordner - Feathers
    What the judges said: "A perfect example of wildlife shot to make a fine photograph, not just to depict behaviour. There's tremendous detail in the feathers and the graceful form of their arrangement; the two flashes of yellow, make a pleasing counterpoint to the dark forms of the feathers."


  • Snow Covered Birch


    Environment Winner: Graham Morgan     - Snow Covered Birch
    What the judges said: "Depicts a muffled serenity that's so redolent of this environment you can practically feel snowflakes landing on your hair. The lighting is simple, stark and beautiful, and captures the texture of the scene to perfection. The light appears to be bouncing all around the scene, and yet there's still a highlight point in the frame."


  • Wall to Wall Aquarium

    Family Adventures & Fun Winner: Byron Dearing - Wall to Wall Aquarium
    What the judges said: "Captures the scale of the aquarium and the silhouettes and reflections make intriguing counterpoints to the enclosed water column. The variety of human figures implies a family activity."
