LEAF AND BUTTERFLY
PETAR SABOL
1st Place
“At first glance it may look and sound easy, a humble leaf with a butterfly, but it was a real struggle against the wind to get the subjects still and in focus. I captured this photo just a couple of hours before the closing time for this Black & White competition, so for me it represents a real thrill.”
STRICTLY ALIGNED
PIERRE PELLEGRINI
2nd Place
“Man’s intervention on nature creates order, balance and harmony. This tunnel of trees formed a canopy of archways, and the ‘doorway’ at the end created a grand, forest cathedral.”
AGAINST THE GRAIN
RORY MCDONALD
3rd Place
“On a morning walk in a newly discovered area of woodland in the Lyth Valley in Cumbria, UK, I came across this old and gnarly twisted yew tree, which stood out because it was surrounded by numerous tall, straight pines.”
A WHIRL OF GRASS
DIETER WANJURA
Finalist
“The moment I saw this patch of grass I was fascinated by its pattern. It reminded me of water in a fast-flowing river, complete with waves and whirls.”
UNFOLDING
MARINA CHRYSOU
Finalist
“I inverted this black-and-white dahlia photograph to highlight the shape and texture of the unfolding petals holding onto a single droplet of water.”
