Thank you to everyone who submitted such beautiful images for our recent photography competition. There are a lot of keen and talented photographers out there and it was difficult to choose between the photographs sent in.

 

This blog congratulates two winning images and highlights four highly commended – your prizes will be on their way. Although all the photographs entered are worthy of praise. We will be adding many of them to our image gallery and sharing them via social media for you to enjoy over the next few weeks.
