  • Thank you very much for this prize! My name is Joseba Iriarte, and I am an amateur photographer from Vitoria-Gasteiz, basque country, Spain. This photo was taken in Salburúa, a natural park in our town. I used a Canon 80D camera with a Canon EF 70-300 USM II lens and processed it in Capture One.

  • Here we have lovely dark tones and a beautiful, original composition with depth and strong focus on that perfectly placed eye. Great shot, well done.

  • You have caught a rare shot, a frog’s last moments on the outside of this water snake. But you have also managed the light so well, adding to the horror the frog is experiencing, fingers outstretched…

  • Amazing photo with the complimentary coloured and feasting yellow crab spider and anemone. A beautiful setting for dinner indeed.

  • This was taken in my front yard. Every morning when I wake up, I look out of my window to see what the morning is like. I see deer a lot, but this time everything came together with the sunrise, fog and deer. The buck was a big plus!

  • Thank you for the nice words about my picture. The picture of the Row Deer was captured only 100 m. from my house, where I have a little photohide. I have used a Canon 1DX II and a Canon 300 mm. f/2,8
