Photography has always been such a big passion of mine, especially when linked with wildlife. So when I saw that the winners and finalists for the British Wildlife Photography Awards had just been announced, I had to share my favourites right away. The competition has been running since 2009, features 15 different categories and is open to both amateurs and professionals. Do you have a favourite? Can you guess the overall winner?

I like the jellyfish the best – but I didn’t find them as wonderful as last year’s.
The jellyfish one is great. My favourite one is the bunny. None of them won the overall prize mind.
Absolutely siiiickkkk 💕💕💕 awesome 👏
I knew you did like them. I’m claiming the bunny if no one else gets there first haha.
I like the big mouth 👄😂😂 so cute 😉
I had a feeling you’d choose that one.
😂 you know Ray :))
They’re all stunning!
Thanks. I deliberately didn’t mention which ones won their category and which were just nominated as they’re all great.
Oh wow! I think the urban wildlife one is my favourite. It caught my attention when I saw the post in my feed! Who is the winner? I think possibly urban wildlife, animal portraits or coast and marine. But, I’m probably being bias because I loved all of those haha.
You called it! It was the Urban Wildlife that won. Technically speaking it is the best one. But that bunny is soooo cute. And I really like the colours of the scorpion one. I like to see creatures you don’t normally see get represented too.
It really is very sweet! I think with the scorpion one I’d have preferred to have seen it in normal colours. I agree about seeing creatures not usually represented!
I’m a big fan of purple and it always seems so different from other creatures. On a slightly unrelated but still cool note, my favourite character on Mortal Kombat was Scorpion 🙂
I have to admit I don’t think I’ve hardly ever played Mortal Kombat so I can’t have a favourite argh! Scorpion sounds like a neat choice though!
The bunny made my day!
Happy to help 😃
Wow! Fabulous.
I knew you’d like them! 😀
😀
Oh y Gosh! These pictures are just amazing.
I’m glad you liked them so much.
you’re welcome
Great shots all, love the big mouth sea lion.
I know! That sea lion just demands to be centre stage.
Wow, impossible to choose a favourite from these.
For sure. That’s why I never rank them or even highlight the winner.
Something to aspire to…
Indeed 😃

I wish they were mine! Thanks for the kind comment and stopping by.

Your wildlife photography attracts many people, these wildlife click is fabulous. Good wildlife photography is not about technology, it is about light, composition, and creativity and All these things are showing in your picture that how creative or attractive you are.
