46 Best Bird Photos Announced, And They're Amazing
#4 Chad Larsen - Garden And Urban Birds - Gold
‘My wife and I had been photographing Snowy Owls for a couple days during the Christmas Holidays in Saskatchewan. On this morning, I returned to the same area and could not believe what I was seeing... an all-white Snowy Owl on a quaint white church! Trying to focus on a white owl set against a very light backdrop proved to be very difficult. However, my biggest challenge was getting into a central position without disturbing this peaceful moment: I knew an opportunity like this might never happen again.’
Caron Steele, the winner of this year's competition, said she was delighted to be awarded the title."It is wonderful to receive such recognition for something I absolutely love doing," said the photographer in a press release.
Carol says she only took up photography seriously back in 2014 when she had gotten her first camera. Since then, she has been on a sharp learning curve. "I did a zoology degree at the University of Oxford, but then went on to pursue other things. Now I love being able to get back to nature and see things through the perspective of my camera," said the photographer. "I am so passionate about conservation and am keen to find an angle where I can help make a significant difference; winning this award has spurred me on to renew my efforts."
