Photographer of the Year 2009: Landscapes 1 of 5

Editor's Choice Shortlist

What the judges were looking for
Inspiring views of the world around us. Rural scenes, sprawling cityscapes, atmospheric coastal shots - it doesn't matter where your photograph was taken, but it needs to capture a powerful sense of place. The location itself doesn't have to be dramatic - great light, composition and creative camera techniques can all be used to transform an everyday subject into something truly memorable.
