British Wildlife Photography Awards 2011

The inaugural competition was held in 2009, and was won by Ross Hoddinott.
Wildlife photography is the act of taking photographs of wildlife.
Wildlife photography is regarded as one of the more challenging forms of photography. As well as needing sound technical skills, such as being able to expose correctly, wildlife photographers generally need good field craft skills. For example, some animals are difficult to approach and thus a knowledge of the animal's behavior is needed in order to be able to predict their actions. Photographing some species may require stalking skills or the use of a hide/blind for concealment.
