Natalie Mayer, judge: Great rendition of a popular type of scene. Beautiful tones, and fantastic composition. This deserves to be printed large and hung with pride. It would look fantastic printed on a metallic paper, or perhaps go the opposite way and try a textured Hahnemühle paper ... Loads of options for a gorgeous image! Photograph: Damien Sass

Natalie Mayer, judge: This shot is great. The photographer has managed to avoid bending distortion towards the edges of the shot, which really helps the scene. I must say, I've seen this kind of shot done before, and thought of doing it myself, but still, this is a well executed version of a graphic and interesting scene. Photograph: Chris Bond

Natalie Mayer, judge: This is a really classic photograph, and the composition is spot-on. If that lady had been any further forward or back it just wouldn't have worked, and because of the combination of thought and intuition that has gone into that, I've chosen this as the winner. Lovely atmosphere and feeling: I can almost hear the rain pattering down on to the road. Photograph: William McCracken
