#5 Birds In The Landscape: “Emu Mist” By Christian Spencer (Shortlist)
“While walking through the spectacular sand dunes in the Eyre Peninsula a thick mist descended turning the light into a sepia color. A small group of Emus emerged. I waited for them to pass behind the twisted and half-buried trees and managed to capture this unique photograph.”

According to Lucca, the main factor all judges were looking for in the photographs was something unique that stands out among other images, something outside of the box. “We were also looking for creative lighting techniques to showcase the photographer’s creativity and adaptability.”
