Diane Bradbury, Cleckheaton “We’ve always loved St Mark’s Square in Venice at night but April this year was the first time we’d seen it flooded. I think the reflections in the water make it look even more magical!”

Denise McDonagh, Portadown “We love Santa Maria Castellabate on the Cilento coast. This picture is one of my favourites which I took in May this year. We were sitting having a prosecco in a café bar as the sun was setting and I reached for my camera and caught this lovely scene.”
