The RHS Photographic Competition 2011
Congratulations to Stephen Webb from Woking, who took the prestigious title of RHS Photographer of the Year, sponsored by Medici Cards, and a cheque for £1,000 after capturing this spectacular image of a carpet of crocuses in the early evening light.
On the panel of judges was Chris Young, editor of RHS The Garden magazine. He commented; 'This is one of those images that transports you to a place and time – I can feel the temperature, the sun shining through and the pleasure at seeing the colourful crocuses pushing through the grass.'
RHS Young Photographer of the Year
Thirteen year-old Dana Leslie, from Dundee, was crowned Young RHS Photographer of the Year 2011, with her image capturing the reflection of a watering can.
Dana said; 'I love photography. When I was in the garden during the summer, I saw how my shadow stood out in the bright sunshine, giving me the idea for this photo.'
Dana will receive a digital camera as first prize.
