November winner of our Water Works competition announced

Misterious Beauty by Paul Pomeroy
let your mind wander remembering that none of that beauty would be here unless there was water.

Thirteen-year-old Paul Pomeroy of Dundee is the November winner of our Water Works schools photographic competition.

Describing his photograph entitled "Misterious Beauty" he said: "This picture shows peacefulness and undisturbed silence. Through the mist winds a path showing how our thoughts and imagination wander and the dew declares freshness to the picture. It reminds us, how often do we take a moment of our busy lives to reflect and think of the beauty this world has? Why don't you do that, and let your mind wander remembering that none of that beauty would be here unless there was water."

Judging his entry this month's winner the judges said: "Excellent image, very emotive and thought proving. The central focal point of the image holds the eye well. An unusual composition that works well in this instance."

All the November Water Works entries can be seen on our Facebook gallery page.

There is now only one month left in our Water Works competition and Scottish school children are invited to enter their photographs depicting water in Scotland to be in with a chance of winning. Full details of the competition and how to enter can be found here. A winner is chosen each month and there will also be an overall winner for the year who will receive vouchers and a canvas print of their photograph.

The Water Works competition is being run by CREW, the Centre of Expertise for Waters.
