THE THREE winners of the Couchman Hanson Photography Competition were recognised with a fitting celebration at the firm’s Haslemere offices on Charter Walk.

The solicitors’ firm welcomed the town’s mayor, Cllr Simon Dear, to present the prizes.

The mayor chatted to winners Mike Young (adult category), Helena Livsey-Hammond (ten to 16) and Oli (under-tens) and commended all three on their "stunning" photos of the natural world in the Haslemere area.

Each winner received a professionally printed, mounted and framed version of their winning image and a voucher from Raymond Reid Photo.

The winners, the mayor and members of the Couchman Hanson team then tucked into a cake from Haslemere Bakehouse, while enjoying the display of further nature photography by winner Mike Young.

An exhibition of Mike’s work is in the reception area for the public to enjoy.
