A huge thank you to everyone who entered this year’s Photography Competition.

The Circle Square photography competition was judged by the Oxfordshire-based photographer and artist, Jane Stillwell.

We invited amateur photographers to capture images of “timeless beauty”—moments, subjects, or scenes that convey a sense of agelessness — where beauty transcends time.

We’re thrilled to have received an incredible array of stunning photographs, which were all carefully judged by Jane.  Discover the winner and runner-ups  below, who each win a beautiful picture from Jane’s collection.

The Winner

A lighthouse in Brittany by Len D’Cruz

Jane’s comments:
“This photograph masterfully captures the timeless beauty of the architecture with a unique and clever perspective. It immediately draws the viewer in, and while it’s difficult to get everything in focus, the photographer has achieved this exceptionally well.  A very compelling and skillfully composed image.”

Rocks by Tracy Hester

Jane’s comments:
“This image showcases a beautifully composed scene, with an excellent selection of rocks that highlight the timeless beauty of nature. Achieving full focus in a shot like this is challenging, yet the photographer has done so very well.
