David Shaw / Natural Landscape Photography Awards

Intimate Landscape, Winner. Jurassic World. β€œThis type of woodland is quite tricky to photograph, as it is so busy, and generally needs mist or thick fog to do it justice. For this particular trip, I didn’t have those conditions and decided to scout the area rather than focus on the photography. However, just as I was about to start the long trek back to the car, the sun came out and lit up this scene, leaving me scrambling to get β€˜something’ before it disappeared again.”
