The Royal Horticultural Society has just announced the winners for their 2013 Photographic Competition. Covering eight categories, the successful entrants were shown in Details, Garden and People, Plants, Season and Wildlife and Young Photographer and Children’s Photographer. Here are my eight favourites. Do you have a favourite?
The beautiful In Mastels by Mateusz Piesiak won first prize in the Young Photographer and Children’s Photographer category. It also won the title RHS Young Photographer of the Year 2013.
The neatly taken Pigeons Over My Garden by Laura Grimsley was highly commended in the Young Photographer category. Just need them to spell Alex next time 😉
Who wouldn’t want to see this looking outside your window every day? Morning Magic by Annette Lepple was highly commended in the Gardens category.
I was born in Autumn and it’s always been my favourite season. This ethereal effort entitled Autumn Light by Brett Critchley won first prize in the Seasons category.
The magnificent Winter Morning at Water’s Edge by Lee Beel could almost be a painting, and won second prize in the Seasons category.
Getting second prize in the Wildlife category, Angry Bee by Jason Canning is a striking photo that shows real flair and detail.
Nature is full of the most delicate beauty, as wonderfully captured by Sarah-fiona Helme in her photo Winter Pose in the Wildlife category.
The subtle, dreamy photograph Cold Frame by William Black in was highly commended in the Seasons category.
All absolutely wonderful, but I love the first, and the third. The third photo is so lovely – such a secret garden! How dreamy 🙂
Very. Really does seem a writer’s garden 🙂
All are good. Angry Bee is easily my favorite. The lighting, the details on the insect and so much more . . . striking.
The others really show off colour but black and white when used properly is so striking. It really is phenomenal.
Agreed. 🙂
Wow…4 and 5 are my favorites.
Nice choices. The light in the fourth one is exceptional. I’m a huge fan of animal photography exhibitions. I think you might like this too

These are GORGEOUS. I love the very first one.
The mixture of colours and tone are wonderful 🙂
Just spotted my image here by accident…I’m very lucky indeed to enjoy such a fabulous view 🙂
So glad you spotted it and stopped by. A really memorable photo. What time of day did you take it?
Just after sunrise – best time for my garden as it faces south-east.
Do you ever get snow?
Hardly…just enough to take some nice pics.
That’s good enough for some awesome photos. Here’s one I took when I was staying with my parents over Christmas https://alexraphael.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/travel-snapshot-back-garden-london/
Angry Bee!!!!
Quite something 🙂
