Well done Gary - It's nice to see that the judges and I have the same great taste. That one is hanging in my office!

Take a View - Landscape Photographer of the Year 2008
- Thread starter Wayland
- Start date
Very very well done.
That is a tough competition with extremely high standards.
No more than you deserve though, your photography is very professional indeed.

Thanks everyone.
I've just booked my tickets to travel down for the preview, looks like there is going to be some very good stuff in the exhibition, I'm amazed I did so well.

Fantastic photos Wayland. Well done!
The tin mines one took me back to holidays in Cornwall. Thanks!

I entered the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition a while back, which is a big national competition with very high standards of entry.
Anyway, I've just had the results back.
I had three shortlisted for awards, but in the end it came down to this one.
I managed to win Second Prize in the Classic View section, which is usually the largest entry, so I'm pretty chuffed right now.
I love the photograph, beautiful seen, would love to have seen it in person.
Congratulations Gary, a well deserved award.
That is such a great picture and gives a sense of calm. I've just replaced your Lafoten panoramic with this as my Desktop picture, hope you don't mind.

I've not found the pics from this year's winners yet, but here's the winners from last year:

I did make a few calenders for friends but the problem was getting them bound.
Very few places seem to do calender binding these days.

Hmmmm thats not right.
You should have won.
I'm not over keen on the manipulation of images and as a "simple" image yours is, in my and BBs opinion, the best (with the surf image second). It has an almost abstract quality.
Very, very, very nice
My congratulations - I have never been to the exhibition (although I usually make the Wildlife photographer of the year - which makes me want to throw my camera away)

They've finally put up the winners here.

Can't wait to see the exhibition, looks like some great stuff there.
Oh man I wish I could translate what I see into images like those, did'nt agree with "Landscape Photographer of the Year 2008" at all, whats landscape about a dog running along a manmade feature ?, any of the other Adult Classic view's apart from "first frost" are better, to my eye anyway .
Gary the ethereal quality to your composition works really well, bloody well done getting runner up against some other superb images.
I must admit I really like the winners, but my favourite is "Fan Fu"
Really good job mate
Regards
Stephen

The winning pic is good, but I think there are better ones on that page. The winning pic doesn't look very sharp to me, but that could just be down to my monitor.
I guess, at the end of the day, it's all subjective anyway.
I love the pic of the Maunsell Forts because it looks really eerie, and I think that my favourites (not including Gary's obviously )are 'Autumn sunrise at Bamburgh Castle' and 'Trotternish from the Quiraing', purely for the colours and the sharpness of them.

They chose the right one it being the simplicity of the scene and stillness of components therein.
Great pictures Wayland
Well done!
