Dan Sakal, from Colchester, Essex was placed first in the 24 April round of the contest, which runs each week. <\/p>\n

Dan said he captured his winning image while travelling around Thailand.<\/p>\n

\u2018I took this at a tiger sanctuary where they don’t drug the animals, so when they get excited, they really get really excited and playful.<\/p>\n

\u2018I shot it on my Canon 5D Mk III and used my 70-200mm f\/2.8 lens on manual, so I could really control the light and shutter speed as the animals were so fast.’<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018This is just one of a series of shots, but I liked this one the best because of the angle and symmetry of everything.’<\/p>\n

Winning images are featured both in the Telegraph<\/em> newspaper and on its website. <\/p>\n

Dan received a Nikon Coolpix S9500 camera worth \u00a3299.99 as a prize.<\/p>\n

He graduated with a BA (Hons) Photography & Media Arts at the University of Creative Arts (UCA) at Maidstone last year.<\/p>\n

\u2018Studying at UCA has made me look differently at the way I shoot \u2013 I feel that my confidence with a camera has improved and that I have a much better understanding of lighting and can quickly adapt to capture an image.’<\/p>\n
