Emilie was inspired to take this photo on holiday in Italy last summer when she saw the warm sun on the beautiful architecture, contrasting with the blue sky.

The judges said of Emilie’s photo: “The low sun has tinted everything with a warm shade, and sharp shadows emphasise the angles and corners of the buildings.

"In many ways this is a brave photograph, with no obvious subject in the frame, the bold shapes and lines take over to great effect."
