This wonderful photograph capturing the stunning view over Pakefield beach has been named as the first Picture of the Week of the year.

The shot was taken by 48-year-old Chris Thompson as he walked his dog Woody along Pakefield cliff-tops using his iPhone.

Mr Thompson said: 'I like the image as it show the beach in a nice light and it is easy to take the view we have here for granted.

'I also like the strong perspective the show gives the lines if the huts and the shoreline.'

As our winner, Mr Thompson receives a 10in x 8in framed version of his photo from Picture Studios, of London Road North, in Lowestoft town centre. Entries can be of any subject but they must be digital images.
