EDD ALLEN Black & White – Highly Commended
Taken on a wonderful day spent walking through the sand dunes on Newborough beach, Anglesey, with the old skeletal trees still standing tall among the blowing grass and the mountains of Wales in the background. Hours disappear as the light comes and goes, while sand is whipped up into the air. Such a fantastic place to visit.

LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR
Pinpoint
ADAM BURTON Coastal View – Commended
As sea stacks go, North Gaulton Castle on the west coast of Orkney’s main island is hard to beat – at 52m (170ft) it’s a monster. For such an incredibly strong subject, the obvious arrangement was to place it centrally within the frame. I used a long exposure to soften the background water and make the stack stand out.
Camera: Nikon D850
Lens: 24-70mm f/2.8
Exposure: 30 secs,
