Soaring Black & White | Runner-up Paula Cooper Gannet (Morus bassanus) Bass Rock, Scotland Lumix DC-G9 with Lumix 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. 12mm; 1/5,000th second; f/5.6; ISO 200. I took this image from a boat trip to Bass rock, looking up at the towering cliffs and the gannets soaring above it. I wanted to show the drama of the place so converted it to black and white and darkened the image. I had been lucky enough to also land on the island a few days before and had been able to photograph this huge breeding population of gannets close up, which have been totally devastated this year by avian flu hitting the island. — Paula Cooper - "Soaring"
"Ich habe dieses Bild von einer Bootsfahrt zum Bass Rock aufgenommen und auf die hoch aufragenden Klippen und die darüber schwebenden Basstölpel geschaut", beschreibt die Fotografin Paula Cooper den Moment, als sie dieses Foto schoss. "Ich wollte die Dramatik des Ortes zeigen, also habe ich die Aufnahme in Schwarzweiß umgewandelt und das Bild abgedunkelt.

Charlie Page - "A Look to the Future..." "Ich wusste, dass dieses Gebiet für Füchse zuverlässig ist, und ich wollte eine Aufnahme mit der industriellen Kulisse machen", sagt der 28-jährige Fotograf Charlie Page über sein Gewinnerbild. "Eines Tages, als ich meine Kamera mit einem Fernauslöser aufstellte, näherte sich ein Fuchs von links. Zögernd, was ich tun sollte, hielt ich still, und überraschenderweise blieb der Fuchs direkt in meinem Rahmen stehen." Er knipste schnell das Foto – überrascht darüber, warum der Fuchs ihm so nahe gekommen war. "Im Nachhinein erzählt diese Begegnung wahrscheinlich mehr die Geschichte als das Foto selbst. Wildtiere haben sich daran gewöhnt, dass wir in ihr Gebiet eindringen. Ich denke, der gefällte Baum und der sehnsüchtige Ausdruck auf dem Gesicht des Fuchses zeigen diese Tragödie perfekt." Er hoffe, dass die Tierfotografie in den kommenden Jahren nicht so aussehen werde.

Animal Behaviour Hitching a Lift Animal Behaviour | Winner James Roddie Common toad (Bufo bufo) Cromarty, Scotland Nikon D850 with Nikon 500mm f/5.6 lens. 500mm; 1/1,600th second; f/11; ISO 2,200. The common toad migration to their spawning grounds can be a spectacular event to watch. As the large females make their way to the water, the smaller males approach them to try and ‘hitch a lift’. It can result in some amusing behaviour, as multiple males will often try to mount the same female. This image was captured just as one of the males tried to push away another. It can be quite a difficult thing to photograph, as this is one situation when toads move surprisingly quickly. File name: Hitching-a-lift.jpg

Honey Bee Flight Trail Hidden Britain | Winner John Waters Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) Bristol, England Canon 5D with Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens. 100mm; 1/4th second; f/32; ISO 160. Honey bees leave ‘light trails’ as they approach their hive entrance. This shot was taken in a small wildlife-friendly garden in Bristol where my partner keeps bees. I spent hours watching the bees, trying to work out how I could show their comings and goings in a way that would convey a sense of movement – their ‘busyness’. I used a slow shutter speed (0.3 secs) and second-curtain flash to ‘freeze’ the bees after they had made their light trails. File name: Honey-bee-flight-trails.tif

Sleeping With Dandelions Animal Portraits | Winner Lewis Newman Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) London, England Nikon D500 with Nikon 300mm f/2.8 lens. 300mm; 1/800th second; f/4; ISO 640. After spending a lot of time with this particular vixen, she began to learn I was not a threat. This gave me some great photographic opportunities. I got to know her routine, and as the wildflowers began to grow, I would find her curled up amongst them. As the dandelions began to open there were a couple of days when she would wake up covered in them.

Gewinner der Kategorie "Küste und Meer" One night in Shetland, I came face to face with plankton on a scale unlike anything I had experienced before, snorkelling amidst a plankton bloom so thick that, at times, I was unable to see through it. To the naked eye, it looks like a million peach-coloured spheres, as if the contents of a bean bag had spilt over the sea, but my macro lens reveals a mass of tiny organisms. Plankton takes two forms: the first is phytoplankton, which is made up of plants and forms the base of the food chain. Zooplankton, made up of animals, sits on the next rung up. I am in the midst of the zoo here – a rich tapestry of tiny animals pulsating all around. Some are too microscopic to recognise, but others I can discern. Larval stage crustaceans abound, some swimming through the darkness, others clinging to the life rafts offered by broken-off seaweed. This plankton soup has attracted an army of jellyfish, who feast upon the buffet of miniature life.

A Poet’s Lunch Botanical Britain | Winner Matt Doogue Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) and Horsefly (Haematopota sp.) Devilla Forest, Scotland Canon 6D Mark II with Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens. 100mm; 1/320th second; f/2.8; ISO 100. Stacked. A 4:30am alarm to get to Devilla Forest for some early morning butterflies resulted in me finding my first ever Sundew. It was even better that it had prey! Then, when I discovered it had actually snared a horsefly, I was extremely excited. There’s something poetic about the piece: the horsefly, known for biting us, was ‘bitten’ by the Sundew. This is a handheld, stacked image consisting of thirty images to ensure complete focus of the scene.

Stag by the Loch Side Habitat | Winner Neil McIntyre Red deer (Cervus elaphus) Western Highlands, Scotland Canon 5D Mark IV with Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens. 81mm; 1/2,000th second; f/11; ISO 400. This stunning location is one I visit frequently with the very hope that I might get opportunities just like this. It’s a wide glen with a loch, spectacular mountain backdrops and, of course, the resident deer. On this occasion, I noticed this stag moving along the side of the loch, but I wanted him against a bright patch in the scene. There was just such an area, albeit very small, and he was heading in that direction. I moved into position and waited until he made his way along the ridge; sure enough, he walked right through the light patch.

Willughby’s Leafcutter Bee Animal Portraits | Runner-up Ed Phillips Willughby’s leafcutter bee (Megachile willughbiella) Staffordshire, England Canon 5D Mark III with Canon 65mm f/2.8 Macro lens. 65mm; 1/200th second; f/13; ISO 200. I have a particular interest in the UK’s solitary bees and like to photograph the species that visit our Staffordshire garden. I had seen this male Willughby’s leafcutter bee looking out of a hole, but it kept retreating whenever I approached. They often pause to warm-up at the entrance before flying off, so I waited, camera poised for the right moment. It eventually reappeared and I carefully framed the shot. At the last moment it cocked its head to one side to what I felt was a pleasing angle.

Soaring Black & White | Runner-up Paula Cooper Gannet (Morus bassanus) Bass Rock, Scotland Lumix DC-G9 with Lumix 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. 12mm; 1/5,000th second; f/5.6; ISO 200. I took this image from a boat trip to Bass rock, looking up at the towering cliffs and the gannets soaring above it. I wanted to show the drama of the place so converted it to black and white and darkened the image. I had been lucky enough to also land on the island a few days before and had been able to photograph this huge breeding population of gannets close up, which have been totally devastated this year by avian flu hitting the island.

Photographer Name: Corey Arnold Image Name: City Howl Year: 2023 Series Name: Cities Gone Wild Series Description: Cities Gone Wild is an exploration of three savvy animals --- black bears, coyotes and raccoons --- that have uniquely equipped to survive and even thrive in the human built landscape while other animals are disappearing. I tracked these animals in cities across America to reveal a more intimate view of how wildlife is adapting to increased urbanization.

GOLD: HIDETOSHI OGATA, JAPAN Japanese macaques on Awaji Island in Japan form huddles consisting of many individual monkeys, sometimes reaching more than thirty. In other places, huddles are usually made up of just a few, rarely more than ten. Cuddling and grooming are among several possible reasons for making a huddle. It begins with the mother and baby cuddling. Other females and young males then join in, as well as other cuddling groups. This photo captures a rare moment during the lactation season when three pairs of monkeys have formed a huddle after grooming. Most Awaji monkeys are non-aggressive and when they are raising their babies, mothers create individual communities that have no social hierarchies.
