The winners of the Burrad-Lucas wildlife photography competition have been announced. Thomas Vignaud’s picture of a Tompot Blenny was selected as the overall winner. “The perfect framing and spot-on exposure combine to beautiful effect. Thomas has used the strobe light masterfully to gain a sense of the blenny looming out of the darkness. Ultimately however, it was the blenny’s characterful face and frilly appendages that clinched it for us!” commented judges William and Matthew Burrard-Lucas.
