“Japanese macaques posing for the cameras at Jigokudani Monkey Park, Japan”. MICK RYAN, JUDGE: “This image sums up what travel photography is like sometimes. As the world becomes more crowded and photogenic subjects become more popular, we sometimes have to be happy sharing space with others talking photographs and, sometimes, turn the lens on those taking the photograph as a reflection of ourselves”.

“After a 5am start on Saturday morning, I was hoping for sunrise, but the forecast was for fog. I decided to try something different, using the fog to create atmosphere and tranquility from this scenic spot. We made a short trip through a small wooded area, then to our delight the landscape opened up and we were stunned by this landscape before us. At 7am it was truly magnificent”.

“I perched on a terrace of an isolated temple on Bagan, Myanmar, and the scenery in front of me was magical, with the sunset projecting this incredible light”. (Photo by Sylvie Bosse/Guardian Witness)

“This was taken above loch Garry in the Scottish Highlands. I loved how the low sun lit up the steamy breath of the highland cattle, making jewels from the dewdrops on the grass”. MICK RYAN, JUDGE: “Away from the urban attractions we visit are vast tracts of semi-wilderness where we can find solitude. Not many people like to walk to far from a road. It is when we stretch our legs - and our comfort zone – that moments like this appear”. (Photo by Keith Britton/Guardian Witness)
