‘Colourful and Curious’
I was at the cliffs near my home watching the razorbills fly past when this little puffin popped its head out of its burrow and stared very curiously at me. I think the puffin was interested in my camera, as it just sat and stared until its family came back!

Camera/Lens: Canon EOS R7, 150-600mm lens
Finalist: Sora Miyazawa | 14 Years
‘Mangrove Predator’

‘Golden Hunter’
As the sun dips below the horizon along the coasts of Hokkaido, a lone Ezo red fox gracefully roams its territory, where the fox roams freely, a rare reminder of nature’s untamed beauty. Its stunning orange fur shimmers under the golden light, as it readies itself for another successful hunt.

Finalist: Sora Miyazawa | 14 Years

As the sun rises in the mountains of Japan, the forest transforms into a chorus, heralding the arrival of spring time. In the heart of the woods, a Eurasian wren performs its enchanting melody, one of the most vibrant songs in these woodlands.
