End frame: Destruction of the Monumental Arch 2018 Sir Don MuCullin
The scene of destruction could be why Don was drawn to this area, it looks like it has just been bombed, the image documents a crushed and repressed area. more
End frame: Twisted Rowan III by Colin Bell
It has inspired my own work, opened my eyes up to another landscape. I no longer seek out the grand view, though some are still hard to pass up. more
End frame: Lochan Na Staigne, Clach Leathad, Meall a Bhuiridh by Joe Cornish
This is a piece of art that opens up so many emotions. it uplifts whilst creating a sense of pathos, and is restful and energising at the same time as well as being dramatic and simple. more

The eye searching for detail wants to automatically aim straight for the lovely rich cloud on the left but as soon as it does you want to explore further. more

End frame: Chongqing XI, Chongqing Municipality by Nadav Kander
An image I believe demonstrates many of these qualities and a favourite of mine is ‘Chongqing XI, Chongqing Municipality’ by Nadav Kander. It is part of his award-winning series ‘Yangtze, The Long River’. more
End frame: East Branch, Middle Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey by William Neill
There is the calm of autumn emphasised by the lack of movement in the water and in the trees, creating perfect reflections. It is quite meditative. more
End frame: Sea Mist, Iceland by Tim Rudman
Many excellent photographers have developed compelling bodies of work with Iceland as the sources of their inspiration. But the work I keep returning to is that of the master monochrome printer, Tim Rudman. more

At first glance, it seems that there is just a single white wave starting its return to the sea but then my eye is drawn deeper into the photograph where there are actually many layers. more
End frame: School’s Out, Ballachulish by Tim Parkin
Tim Parkin rarely makes an image in black and white and does not normally include people. His photograph ‘School's Out’ is, therefore, a break in his usual style. more
End frame: Cedars and rock circle, Merced River, Yosemite National Park, California, 1986 by William Neill
It hints at something out of the natural order. Peaceful but somehow slightly unsettling. There are many of the usual components of a landscape photograph, trees and rocks and water but no foliage. more
