Winter sunset
Poland
Photographer: Stefania Urbini
If trees could talk, the ones in Poland’s
primeval Białowieża Forest – which once
covered most of Central Europe – would be
telling a tall tale. Stefani Urbini has captured
its 1,000-word story in one atmospheric
shot, taken on-the-hoof after a day out
snapping woodland birds, catching the sun
sinking into the inky birch trees.
Congratulations to all the inalists of this
