I’ve always loved photography, either taking them myself or seeing them in exhibitions. So when I saw The Guardian’s latest photography awards, I just had to post my favourite ones here. It’s focused on the beauty and diversity within the British landscape, with categories including Living the View, Classic View and Your View. Feel free to share your favourite or try and guess which was the overall winner.

Theses are amazing
I knew you’d like them. It wasn’t easy to choose the eight, which is always a big compliment.
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, Alex.
They’re so striking. Such a great range. I love landscape photography.
Outstanding. Thanks for posting.
Thanks. Just makes you want to see more of nature doesn’t it? I need to see the Peak District.
The first one (poppies) is my favourite.
It’s mine too. It wasn’t the overall winner. That was the third one. Goes to show how subjective it all is.
My jaw dropped to all of these! I’m pretty hooked on the idea of being in a fantasy world at the moment so my favourite was the enchanted wood. Poppies a very close second, and the lighthouse one too!
I’ve read you’re writing and not surprised. It’s a real lose yourself in the photo kind of image. Real ethereal. I how you get to go to the Peak District one day. The poppies one is mine. It’s like three visions in one.
amazing expression
of creative talent 🙂
They really are 🙂
Awesome captures! Poppies is my fav, I associate it to the 100th Anniversary of WW1…
It’s mine too. You’ll probably like this one too 🙂

Gorgeous shot! Thanks for the link, Alex.
😃 Canary Wharf creates great exhibitions
A varied range of excellent images
Exactly what I was going for. Such striking images, covering the different kinds of beauty in Great Britain.
Wowza!!
They certainly are.
These are incredible. Several of them made me gasp out loud.
I know. It almost seems wrong to pick a winner. My favourite was the top one nor could there’s strong shouts for numerous others.
I am going with the woodland grass but I liked all of them!
Yes, it was really well-framed. Black and white really suits it too.
I like stooks the most, but all r awesome :))
I wonder how long all that took. Such a lovely image.
Well my favourite was no 1 Poppies, but I’d guess no 8, raindrops on the line won 🤷🏼♀️
That’s my favourite too. It wasn’t the eighth one, no. It was actually the third photograph. It really goes to show how subjective it all is 😊
