Ross Hoddinott, close to nature category winner: Wing tips, Broxwater, Cornwall. “I’m always looking to capture less conventional close-ups – maybe through creative lighting, use of depth of field or my choice of focus. With this image, I wanted to place the emphasis on the delicacy and design of the damselfly’s wings, so carefully placed my focus on the wingtips. This type of shot is very Marmite – you’ll either love it or hate it!”. (Photo by Ross Hoddinott/British Wildlife Photography Awards 2017)
