Stowe Pool, Lichfield, Staffordshire, England

Classic view – Highly commended

After a particularly chilly night, a sliver of ice had formed on the pool – thin enough to see through, but crisp enough to give that ‘shattered glass’ reflection. Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait too long for the sun to rise adding a little colour to the clouds and lighting up this local landmark.

Judges’ tip check your outer edges

Take your eye around the viewfinder, twice. Crop out distracting elements or areas that alter the balance or ‘story’ of your shot.
