Landscape Photographer of the Year

[markmullen]

It's all kicking off on LPoTY, it appears the winner, David Byrne, has been disqualified for bending the rules regarding digital manipulation.

Tim Parkin has an interesting analysis, http://www.timparkin.co.uk/2012/10/landscape-photo...

Been following this quite closely another embarrasment for LPOTY the judges should really pay a bit more attention. Good on Tim Parkin and Alex Nail to bring these issues to light and looks like they got heard.

I do feel sorry for David Byrne though his images should never of been chosen and he must be gutted, although the rules are very clear when you enter!


I just got to the shortlisted stage this year with this:

Oh dear! I do feel a bit sorry for David Byrne who clearly didnt read the rules but is undoubtedly a talented photographer (I saw other images of his in a BPE show last night). Is there a new winner then?

I was lucky enough to have an image commended this year...

And none of these have been Photoshopped?

What a load of bowlocks.

I don't believe David Streeter's have been.
Actually.... I think Photoshopping is allowed. I think it's just removing and adding the objects that they have a problem with?

Agreed, shooting myself in the foot - in the winning category they have different rules.
