Runners up
Sarah England - Brockenhurst, New Forest National Park
'Here are two very playful New Forest Ponies enjoying an early evening in Brockenhurst- they are inquiring as to whom it was that witnessed their cheekiness!'
Amanda Norfolk - Godshill, New Forest National Park
'Morning Glow through the trees. Love this golden sunrise view from Godshill ridge. Just caught the sun after it came up over the ridge in the background. Love how the glow of the sun rays, is caught through the trees, creating a silhouette view. This is a popular focal point to watch the sunrise and a wonderful area of the New Forest to walk.’

Amanda Norfolk - Godshill New Forest National Park
'Frosty Winter Sunrise - Godshill looking over Ashley Walk in the New Forest. Beautiful frosty sunrise early January. Godshill looking down to Ashley Walk… such a wonderful mood with the white, frosty sprinkles. The landscape transforms after a coating of frost.'
