Benjamin Graham has taken the top prize in the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2017 with his image of the West Wittering dunes in West Sussex.
Graham won £10,000 for his winning photo among thousands of entries.
This marks the 11th year of the competition, which judges photographs of the diverse landscapes that the United Kingdom has to offer.
He said: “As well as its minimal simplicity, I particularly like the indeterminate scale of the image. The double S-curve could be two metres long or two thousand.”
