This year Jari Peltomäki was chosen as International Wildbird Photographed with his Red-throated Diver image.
"The judges loved the subtle colours and patterns created by the wing blur
and water splashes. They also
appreciated the way the picture was framed so that the bird is looking into
space. The bird´s beauty and
the fact that the activity has not been well-recorded before were added
bonuses."

Last year´s IWP champion, Markus Varesvuo won this years Best Portfolio
category.
Judges comments: "Markus contrasted two gamebird pictures that were very different in character, with a technically-difficult action shot of Europe´s smallest bird, the Goldcrest. In every image, the level of detail and clarity is deeply impressive." |
