Lisa Foreman’s verdict: This is a really nice composition: the lines of the door and the child echo the surrounding trees, creating a graphic image. There are hints of Narnia, with doors leading to other worlds. There’s also a sense of anticipation - what will the child find? - that draws the viewer into the picture. Photograph: Robert Barber

Summer Garden
Winner: Ronnie Bell

Lisa Foreman’s verdict: This image beautifully captures a moment: the bird is looking at us looking at the bird. Who is being spied on here? The composition suggests we are discovering a hidden part of the garden. It’s truly a living environment. Photograph: Ronnie Bell

Best of British
Winner: Margaret Whittaker

Lisa Foreman’s verdict: Again, this is a graphic image. The symmetry of the figures coupled with the lines of the bench and the trees combine to great effectiveness. The idea of sharing a picnic outside, despite the weather, creates a truly British atmosphere. Photograph: Margaret Whittaker
