A 'SUPERB' picture of Blea Tarn at Great Langdale has been chosen as the winner of The Wainwright Society's 2017 photographic competition.
The 81 entries in the open class competition were judged by photographer and film maker Terry Abraham who selected David Felton's image as the overall winner.
"Blea Tarn near Great Langdale has likely been captured on camera more times than there are stars in the night sky but there's no doubting it's an iconic view," said Mr Abraham. "Surprisingly, it's quite a difficult place to convey through photography given where one's eye wishes to gaze.
"That said, the rocks in the foreground perfectly balance and lead the eye around the frame towards a sun-kissed Langdale Pikes.
"This is a superb image that nails it for composition but also for atmosphere and goes to prove that in this case, dawn is the best time to appreciate this picture postcard Lakeland scene.
"A worthy winner and an image I'd be proud to have framed on my wall at home."
