01 WINTER FIELDFARE BY GIANPIERO FERRARI WINNER 1ST
“After a snowfall during the night, several fieldfares came into the garden to take advantage of the apple that I left out. This particular bird was aggressive and took over the entire garden. I took some pictures from the window of my house, but knew I could get a better composition outside by shooting at ground level. So I built a pile of snow to use as a background and then lay in the ground under a camouflage blanket, waiting for the bird to return to eat the apples.”
Lens Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
Exposure 1/200 sec, f/10, ISO500
02 OXPECKER BY KEVIN ROONEY 3RD PLACE
“I took this picture in Mara North Conservancy in Kenya. We came across a large herd of buffalo and soon found our Land Cruiser surrounded by them. By being so close, I was able to zoom in on the numerous oxpeckers cleaning ticks and flies from the buffalo. They especially concentrated on their eyes, ears and noses which is how I managed to get this shot before the buffalo shook the bird off.”
Lens Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM
Exposure 1/1000 sec, f/5.6, ISO200
03 PYGMY OWL IN A SNOW SHOWER BY CHRISTY GRINTON VERY HIGHLY COMMENDED
