Showcases the winning and commended entries from the 12th annual Landscape Photographer of the Year competition. "Take a view," the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition, is the brainchild of Charlie Waite, one of today's most respected landscape photographers. Together with AA Publishing, he created this prestigious competition and award with a total prize fund exceeding £20,000, coupled with an exhibition in central London showcasing the best of the competition. Landscape Photographer of the Year, the full-color book of best entries, has been hugely successful in its first 10 years. Like the others before it, the 12th edition features both classic shots of verdant rural countryside and stark urban landscapes capturing the beauty and diversity of Britain in the 21st century.
