Brian said: “This was taken on the summit of Slieve Corragh just as the sun broke through the clouds and began illuminating the slopes around the Ben Crom Reservoir.”
North-West
Matt said: “The great British seaside, we all flock to our nearest beach as soon as summer comes, I shot this of my daughter at Ainsdale beach flying her first every kite.”
South-West
Louise said: “Sunshine seen through freshly picked wild flowers.”
Yorkshire and The Humber
Lisa said: “I think this image represents beauty in the faces and costumes, but also the beauty of Britain by celebrating the diverse cultures, which the nation is made up of. Leeds Carnival is a celebration of West Indian culture in the UK and is celebrated by all nations and ethnicities in Leeds, Yorkshire. This weekend is a feast for the senses and a culmination of the hard work and coming together of the communities of Leeds. I was whipped repeatedly in the eyes by feathers to get the best shots!”
East Midlands
The judges said: “A powerful composition and a carefully controlled exposure, with such modest camera demonstrates an originality of a subject or place that random passers bye would hardly notice. Samsonovs brings the mundane to a compelling and beautiful conclusion which may make us consider the huge potential of the everywhere around us.”
Wales
Anuruddha said: “Early and harmonious morning with fog over the Lake Bala, Gwynedd, Wales.”
Scotland
Henning said: “It had been pouring down and suddenly the sun came through, bringing out life and colour to the streets. This is one of the things that is beautiful about the UK.”
West Midlands
Sarah said: “I captured these silvery dandelion clock sculptures on the shore of the lake at Trentham Gardens with my iPhone 6s towards the end of a cold but clear late spring day. I loved their structure and silhouette against the light, capturing and preserving the usually fleeting and ethereal nature of real dandelion clocks which are a wonderfully brief feature of the British springtime.”
London
Malcolm said: “On a foggy but sunny morning on the way to work I had to stop to enjoy the mystery.”
East of England
Annette said: “A mammoth family, featured on the West Runton elephant-inspired mural being painted on Sheringham promenade by artist David Barber who came up with the idea of creating a mural inspired by the 700,000-year-old West Runton elephant skeleton, discovered on the beach 26 years ago.”
North-East,
Jeffrey said: “Three women and their children spend an inexpensive few hours on a quiet beech near Berwick on Tweed. The women chat while the kids pass the time with simple English pleasures; playing in the sand, cricket and football. A pleasurable typical English outing without having to spend a fortune.”
South-East
Tom said: “The British seasons are a major cause for celebration as they provide an ever-changing interaction with our beautiful scenery. This section of the Thames (near Tadpole Bridge in Oxfordshire) is unlikely to appear on many holiday itineraries. However, on a frosty Winter morning with the sun rising through the mist, there can be few more beautiful places on Earth.”
