this year's competition.
'First and foremost, it is technically
superb. The composition is wonderfully balanced, with its strong diagonal
energy leading the viewer to experience this fantastic vista almost at first
hand.
'The light on the rock is what creates the
magic.The photographer has waited for exactly the right moment, on the right
day and he has made a huge effort to be in the right place.
'The 'wildflower landscapes' category is all
about plants in their natural enivronment, and this image is a fantastic
example of the sheer tenacity and adaptability of plant life.'

Garden Photographer of the Year was set up
by five members of the Garden Photographers' Association in 2007.
As a response to entries and enquiries from
outside Great Britain, it added 'International' to the title in 2008.
Its first exhibition took place at the Royal
Botanic Gardens, Kew, in May 2008 and quickly established itself as the world's
premier garden and plant photography event specialising in garden, plant,
flower and botanical photography.
