A tranquil snapshot of beach huts in Essex has topped its category in a national photography competition.
Neil Burnell captured his image, entered for the Landscape Photographer of the Year Award, at Osea Leisure Park on the banks of the River Blackwater.
Called Stilts, the photograph was shortlisted and made it to the top of the Your View category but was beaten to the overall prize by Benjamin Graham’s image of sand dunes. Fellow East Anglian photographer Jon Martin, from Norwich, scooped the Network Rail “lines in the landscape” award for his shot of a train crossing the Barmouth Viaduct over the picturesque River Mawddach in North Wales. Mr Graham beat thousands of entries to win £10,000 for his striking shot of dunes at low tide at West Wittering, West Sussex.
It is the third year running a photograph of the coastline has won the competition, which celebrates the UK landscape.
