Philip Smith, IGPOTY Director said of the overall winner: ‘All of
the judges thought this was the outstanding image from 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.’

‘Dennis Frates has been entering IGPOTY since it started and his
success this year is reward for his dedication, skill and unique vision.
‘It is especially satisfying to see a lot of new names appearing
in the awards.’
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.

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.

The competition is open to everyone anywhere in the world. Images

between professional and amateur photographers.
