Other pictures that were praised by the panel:
Cassowary by @adventures_by_matt
Perrin Clarke: “Good composition and depth of field. Subtle colours of the background work well.”
Tracey Jones: “These birds are so hard to find, let alone get such an amazing shot. A lot of planning and a decent amount of luck must have gone into this.”
Curlew by @trinajoy84
Perrin Clarke said about this picture: “Captured the look really well with a good use of ‘depth of field’.
Blue Butterfly by @lockhartsuie
Tracey Jones: “These butterflies rarely sit still, I bet there were hundreds of shots taken to get this. Lots of patience is required.”
