#12 Monochrome Wild Art Young Category Winner

Subject: Spider (species unknown)

'...This photograph of a spider’s web was taken on a March morning not long after the rain had disappeared. I spotted it on my garden gate and was captivated by the jewel-like quality of the water droplets that had been captured by it. I am fascinated by webs, and the fact that spiders have an innate knowledge of how to spin them never ceases to amaze me.'

#9 Monochrome Highly Commended

'Subject: Brown Bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus

At the end of summer, I spent some time photographing birds on a lake. I would arrive at the lake and go to the hide in darkness ready for the dawn. By 8am I had usually finished taking pictures. One morning as I made my way home, I heard strange noises near a sluice. When I got closer, I saw these brown bullheads. In the extreme heat, the water had run out of oxygen, so these fish were gulping for air, trying to survive.'

'The glaciers and ice caps of Iceland cover over 10% of the landmass. As they melt, especially in the summer months, the outflow forms networks of river channels which flow from the glaciers towards the sea, carrying sediment and volcanic soil.

When the flow of the rivers subsides, sediment settles on the river bed, leaving behind small temporary islands of dark volcanic sand that cause the channels of the rivers to split. The always-changing rivers systems can be several kilometers wide so it is only possible to see these patterns from an aerial perspective....'

'The Wadden Sea, located in the southeastern part of the North Sea, is the world’s largest unbroken system of intertidal sand, mud flats and wetlands in the world. A vast area along the coastlines of the three countries: The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. Declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, it has a high biological diversity and is an important area for both breeding and migrating birds. During low tide the shallow water which is left on the sand forms incredible unique structures which can look completely different each day...'

'This is the compound eye of a Deer Fly. A common pest around these parts, this fly has razor-sharp “teeth?” and will cut an incision into your skin and drink the blood that spills out. If I had a choice I’d rather feed a mosquito – at least there’s no mess! As with mosquitoes, it is an instinctual reaction to swat them when they land on you. Unfortunately they are far more difficult to swat and far more annoying.

This one I managed to hit, so yes, this fly was intentionally injured by me (he had it coming!). I stunned it and broke a wing so it couldn’t fly away, and the I got the crazy idea to photograph it’s eye. This was the result.'
