FW Photography competition winners

Thank you for sending so many photos in our 2008 Photography Competition – we received thousands.

The judges have deliberated, discussed, cogitated, argued and, eventually, reached a consensus.

Here are the winning shots in each of the six categories. You can see nearly 80 of the photos that impressed the judges in this gallery.

If yours isn’t among them, don’t be too disappointed, the standard of entries was higher this year than ever before. “Just stunning,” said FW group picture editor Jodie Deakin.

We’ll be running the competition again next year, with new categories and even better prizes – look out for details in 2009.

Livestock winner Ben Kerley, Swavesey, Cambridgeshire

Arable winner Roger Tebbutt, Glyn, Anglesey

General farm scenes winner Julie Hazleton, Country Antrim

Children Tracey Havard, Brecon

Humour Janice McAulay, Gartocharn, Dunbartonshire

Nature: Jim Wilson, Duns, Berwickshire
