Junior Landscape Competition

Prize

Sponsor

We had a great selection of entries to kick off our first Junior competition. Picking a winner was no easy feat and here's what the judge Christina Doyle of our sponsor Firstcall Photographic had to say about the winners.

The winner of the under 16's category is Rocky Shore by dancingqueen and a Canon EOS 3000V SLR with a 28-90mm lens worth £125 is the prize.

"Here is a girl that actually takes photographs to capture the light!!! The image is well composed, has good depth of field and exposure, some foreground interest and does not appear to be heavily manipulated in Photoshop. Moreover, the photo is taken with a digital compact camera - and we hope that our winner will want to develop her photographic talent further with the SLR that she wins in this contest. Rock on Dancingqueen"

The winner of the 16 - 18 category is Sunrise Tree by maxmaxmax and the prize for this is a Canon EOS 300X SLR with a 28-90mm lens worth a handsome £210.

"This certainly is a striking image - Max must have been very pleased to see it. We like the composition, the sharpness, the mood and the colour (which was either achieved with a filter, a warmer WB setting or added post capture) - and the way distance is conveyed, aided by the fog. We also have to applaud Max's method of avoiding lens flare - and it works so well here. Sadly, Max doesn't give any information about the camera he uses - but we hope that he will be pleased to receive his SLR prize."
