What an absolutely gorgeous image! We really like the creativity in this image. It’s an interesting take on the brief and somehow manages to blend landscape and macro photography into an unusual perspective. The colours are very clearly seasonal, but there is more to the shot than autumnal hues. A well-thought-out and executed shot. Congratulations!

Any image which pushes boundaries is going to get the judge’s attention and in this image, taken from a less-than-ordinary point of view, the photographer has combined an engaging composition and excellently balanced autumn colour. Despite the elevated perspective, there is enough depth to lead us into the shot too. Well done.

We love to see things that are a little different and this shot fits the bill. Often, looking a little closer for detail can tell a much more impactful story and this macro shot really captures the atmosphere of the season. The colour, light and perspective all inspire the imagination and we feel like going on a woodland walk in the autumnal atmosphere.

Autumn photography is often seen as a very rural genre but it’s important not to forget the potential of urban locations. This shot of Billonaire’s Row in New York is a perfect mirror image composition and it manages to capture the atmosphere of a famous NYC Fall season. The reflection is very well placed and overall exposure is nicely managed.

This shot is filled with autumnal atmosphere without overdoing it! The colours and atmospheric conditions give away the season but it feels as if the specific scene is the focus rather than just the bold tones. It is a restrained composition which really tells the story of autumn. Lovely light, great exposure and ideal framing. Very well done.

This is a wonderfully tranquil shot which has just enough colour to allow the viewer to identify the season without the frame becoming overloaded. The sweeping hills give something for the eye to follow and the looming mountains provide a lovely compositional full stop. Everything is nicely placed and the shot feels perfectly balanced. A classic landscape that ticks all the boxes.
