2026 Awarded images
I thought I’d start my 2026 ‘awarded images’ post as I’ve had a great start to the year. Like last year, I have entered various different challenges and competitions, I am so pleased to have been successful at a few! I’ll do this in reverse order (based on date of the announcement) and hopefully there will be some new pictures to add later in the year.
For Outdoor Photography Magazine in addition to the images, I have to supply a short statement about the image so I have shared that with the picture here.

Spring landscapes - Outdoor Photography Magazine This was image taken one evening when spring had arrived very early. I loved that it was winter on one side of the valley and spring on the other. The crocuses had just sprung up to carpet the meadows. |

Creative wildlife - Outdoor Photography Magazine This image was taken on holiday on an early morning walk. I was walking over a bridge where I could look down on steps going down into the water. I loved the minimalist feel to the scene and the ripples made by the coot standing in the water. |

Winter mountains - Outdoor Photography Magazine My favourite days to photograph in the Alps in the winter are those that start really foggy but then very suddenly the clouds start to break up and the sun shines through low clouds illuminating crisp snow. |

Colour and mono
Another pair of dahlia flower pictures. I loved the curls and swirls of this orange dahlia and then a little hoverfly decided to join in. I rarely make mono pictures, I am definitely a colour lover but something about the shape of this particular flower screamed out to me to make a mono version so here’s both versions.
