British waters compact category winner. Hello Ducky! by Paul Colley (UK). Location: river Test, Hampshire, UK. “While trying to photograph trout with a home-made pole-cam, a raft of mallard ducks muscled in to steal food intended to entice trout to the camera. This initial nuisance became an interesting opportunity and, shooting blind with the camera on the pole, I managed to catch the trout below water with a duck swimming overhead ... This needed a low viewpoint, an upward camera angle and a metric tonne of patience to allow all the elements to come together and make the picture work”.
