<\/img>1st Dusica Paripovic<\/strong>, Prijedor 45pts<\/p>\n

Nikon D5000, 55-200mm 4-5.6 VR, 1\/160sec at f\/4.8, ISO 100<\/p>\n

Schoal <\/p>\n

Judges say: \u2018This unusual and abstract image immediately stood out due to its striking golden hue and fascinating subject. It’s easy for the eye to get lost within the school of fish making it an endlessly fascinating photograph.’<\/p>\n

2nd Andrew Blake<\/strong>, Scarborough 44pts
\nCanon EOS 400D, 70-300mm, 1\/640sec at f\/22, ISO 1600<\/p>\n

‘Three Tog’ <\/p>\n

Judges say: \u2018The soft focus and strong light of this image have given this shot by Andrew a near fairytale quality. The three floating feathers are a particularly nice touch.’

\n<\/strong><\/img>3rd Chris Bestwick<\/strong>, Lancashire 43pts
\nSamsung GX20, 70-300mm, 1\/15sec at f\/8, ISO 200<\/p>\n

Flock <\/p>\n

Judges say: \u2018Chris has pressed the shutter at exactly the right moment to capture this appealing composition. Shooting at 1\/15sec has given the birds just the right amount of blur to add a sense of direction and speed.’\n <\/p>\n
