River art

Selected by judge Gigi Lewis, who says: "It was a difficult decision to choose from an excellent standard of entries. This photo, although technically perhaps not one hundred percent correct, stood out because of its sheer innovation. It perfectly depicts the beauty and mystery of our forests in an almost dreamy fusion of colours, reflections and sundappled fern. A tip to some of the en-trants: do not over-saturate colours with your editing software when depicting groups of people in a landscape. It sometimes works against you when entering competitions."
