A striking image of a small stream created by heavy rain set among the vast Glencoe mountains has won the Landscape Photographer of the Year awards.
Mark Littlejohn, from Penrith, Cumbria, beat thousands of photographs of UK landscapes to scoop the top £10,000 prize for his image which judges said captured "a fleeting moment of beauty" in the Scottish Highlands.
Mr Littlejohn said he had got up at 1.30am to drive to Glencoe but the rain had been torrential at dawn. As he wandered about waiting for gaps in the weather he saw the stream form high up on Gearr Aonach.
Winning entries ranged from a sunset over the North York Moors and a misty early morning in the Peak District to cityscapes dominated by striking buildings and a close-up of a lichen-covered rowan tree.
Sam Rielly, 17, from London, won the the Young Photographer of the Year award for a black and white image of his mother walking through the landscape of Anglesey, Wales.
The winning entries will be exhibited at London Waterloo from 1st December .
