Guild of Photographers director Lesley Thirsk said: “To have an image recognised by the Guild in the monthly competition is difficult enough, so to have an image selected as being one of the best in a category for the end of year final is, without doubt, an incredible achievement, and shows just how talented photographer, Peter is.”

Peter said “Urban Nightscapes in my photography passion and I put a lot of effort into developing my skills.

"To have one of my images shortlisted for the overall Final from the many thousands submitted across whole year is really exciting. I couldn’t believe it when I found out.”

Mr Benson will have to wait until early February 2022 to see if he's won.
