It’s a bold move to leave so much space
in an image, but it works well here, with
the tones matching the squirrel’s fur.

There’s great drama in this image as

the eagle takes off with its prey. An

image where hard work pays off.

This penguin appears to be

contemplating what’s going

on out to sea. The minimal

composition is pleasing.

We love the way the colour

of the dragonfl y’s body

echoes the emerging petals.

Using the barn window as a frame is an
attractive device. The owl doesn’t need
to be any bigger to tell the story.

Using a short telephoto has balanced

the foreground sheep with the tower

on the horizon. Lovely light, too.
