From the BBC. Some cracking photos, can't say I'm overly impressed by the winner though.

agree mate, photo 9 is a cracker imo.
Can't see how the winner is classified as a photo when its half a dozen shots manipulated same has #5 sorry but not my idea of photography.

I found the final photo, of the elephant killed for its ivory really intense, sad and sickening all in one go.
How gross that these wonderful and declining in numbers animals are killed for their tusks.

Very moving photo. But I read the caption as it had died of unspecified causes, and it was the rangers who are seen detusking the elephant?
