Bridgena Barnard - Leopard Stashing Kill

The Society of Nature and Wildlife Photographers have announced the winners of the In The Wild Photographic Competition.

For this competition photographers were asked to submit images that captured animals living in their natural environment to endangered species surviving from around the globe.

Bridgena Barnard from Cape Town, South Africa was chosen as the winner from over 650 images entered in to the competition with the image entitled ‘Leopard Stashing Kill’. The photograph was taken on a Nikon D700 with a 500mm lens.

Bridgena has won 12 months membership to The Society of Nature and Wildlife Photographers (SINWP). Phil Jones, The Societies CEO says, “This image has captured the theme in its entirety. The photograph has a very strong narrative as the deceive moment and it has been excellently captured.”

He continues, “The competition had a very high standard which made judging very difficult, the range of natural environments was very broad and we have seen everything from dragonflies to elephants and everything in between. We enjoy viewing all the images entered and we are looking forward to another bumper crop of images entered in to the Essence of Nature Photography Competition”.

The runners up Arun Koushik from India and Anne Algar from Middlesex, UK have both been awarded 6 months membership to the SINWP photographic organisation.
