Well done guys, as I said earlier the standard was very high. All of the photos can be viewed in the gallery below. I’ll be contacting all of the winners to give them their voucher codes shortly.











I nearly fell off my chair when i saw that. thats a scary little critter
Yeah, I agree that this was a good choice of winner. Picture #10 by Jane Nicholls of the two geckos (??) would have been my other potential winner but yeah thats a good winning photo. Well done to the winner and to all the runners up.
Awesome winning photo, those mantids look so alien!
