Young Photographer of the Year shortlisted: Stripy reflections by Imogen Smith, age 17. Taken in Lewa Reserve, Kenya. Describe what is pictured? This image shows a zebra having a drink at a watering hole. How does this image fit with the theme of the competition? This image highlights the beautiful striped pattern of the zebra – both the real animal and its reflection. This is a Grevy’s zebra, the most threatened of the three zebra species, characterised by thinner stripes. This photo therefore shows stripes as both a means of camouflage for the animal and a mechanism of identification. (Photo by Imogen Smith/Royal Society of Biology)
