Dave Kinder
This month's entries perfectly encapsulated our festive theme and illustrated the amazing diversity of wildlife present throughout the winter months. The ability and skill of our photography competition participants never ceases to amaze us, and this month they certainly didn’t disappoint.
After much consideration Dave Kinder was selected as the winner of December’s competition.
Dave Kinder
Our judge loved this photograph because of its ‘characterful and charming quality, this image captures one of the festive seasons favourite characters. The depiction of this robin perched upon a snow-covered fence post highlights this much-loved bird’s vibrant colour and ferocious character’
Craig Smith
In second place is Craig Smith, our judge stated ‘this wonderful winter scene captures the joyful spirit of Christmas and the delightful wildlife that is present all around us. This photograph of two roe deer frolicking upon the snow-covered hills of Tockholes is both charming and endearing.
Christine Kearns
Finally in third place is Christine Kearnes, our judge proclaimed ‘the bright colour of the blue tits and coal tit, offset against the snow-covered landscape makes this image jump off the screen. Additionally, the quality and detail displayed within this photo makes it look like a perfectly composed Christmas card scene.’
The winner will be contacted via email with details of how to redeem their £100 optics voucher prize. Additionally, all winning photos will be displayed in our visitor centres for everyone to see.
