A reflection of the mountains at Lock Sligachan, by Gareth Smith.

Gareth says: "This was shortly after the rain had stopped and we were driving off the island back to the airport. We saw a couple of cars parked by the side of the loch and realised that their occupants had identified a good photo opportunity ... so we pulled over and I got my camera out."

Landscape shortlist: Costa del Brean, by Jo Halladey
Costa del Brean, by Jo Halladey.

Jo says: "Permanent caravan park on the edge of Brean Sands, Somerset. There are a seemingly endless number of caravan parks in this area, overlooking the huge expanse which is Brean Sands and the muddy flaps of the Bristol Channel, broken windows and for sale signs."

Saltburn Beach, North Yorkshire, by Glenn Humphrey.

Landscape shortlist: Sheep, by Miles Halpin
Sheep, by Miles Halpin.

Miles says: "This is a scene from around Harborough Rocks, near Brassington in Derbyshire, taken from the High Peak Trail. The sheep have a hard life in these exposed uplands but cope with it with an admirable fortitude. Or is it simply resignation?. Theres something reminiscent of penguins in Antarctica, making their legendary trek."
