Melvin Redeker, animal portraits category winner: Natural Beauty, Isle of Noss, Shetland Islands. “Looking for a different perspective for a gannet portrait, I positioned myself on top of the cliffs. Looking straight down I had an intimate view of a group of gannets sitting on a higher ledge. I talked to them and one gannet looked up, revealing its rounded head, symmetry and beautiful blue eyes against its white feathers”. (Photo by Melvin Redeker/British Wildlife Photography Awards 2017)
