PREVIOUS WINNERS

September

Frank Middleton, from Knutsford, won for his photograph taken on Crosby Beach (first in the September gallery, left). "I took the picture of my eldest son with a Canon 400D camera with a 300mm lens. Just before we had been looking at Another Place, Antony Gormley’s 100 cast iron statues facing out to sea."

August
Jennifer Edwards, from North London: "It was taken on our second day in Mumbai. We were exploring the city, got a bit lost and walked into a housing estate. The colourful washing strung up across the dull grey concrete made a drab building come to life. The typically retro-style taxi in the foreground firmly plants the picture in Mumbai. Colour is everywhere in India, making the most mundane, everyday things look beautiful and interesting."

July
Frederico Colarejo of St George, Bristol, was the July Citizen Traveller winner with his startling image of a train station in Rajasthan, India. “I took this photo while I was waiting for the train at Ranthambore station. I missed the first train and had a five hour wait for the next, so decided to have a look around. As I wondered around I noticed a man through the doorway of the carriage and loved the contrast between him in his crisp white clothes with all the cramped passengers behind the barred windows.”

June
Ian Scotland from Crawley Down, West Sussex, is was June’s winner with his dramatic action shot of a rodeo rider, taken at the Tillamook Annual Rodeo in Oregon, USA.
