Wildlife Extra UK wildlife photography competition
The UK has some of the world's best wildlife, but not many people realise it. We want to promote the wildlife of the UK so we asked you to send us your best shots of the UK's wildlife. To see the winners and finalists in each section, click Birds, Insects & Bugs, Mammals, Landscapes, Reptiles & Amphibians, & Marine.
Successful wildlife and wilderness photography does not necessarily involve long flights and equally long immigration queues. The inaugural Wildlife Extra UK wildlife photography competition is not only a fabulous example of just how beautiful the British Isles are, but also that it does not need a fat pay cheque to seduce talented photographers into wanting their work displayed. There are no remote cameras involved (yes, that is a dig) and no ludicrous Photoshop sorcery either, just a litany of belting images.
Some of the winners and shortlisted entries, especially the birds, would hold their own in any competition in the world. Got a camera? Got a back yard or local paddock? Get out there, whatever the season. Congratulations to all contributors. I have added some candid views to many of the short-listed images.
Chief judge - Paul Goldstein
