Lighting Great lighting makes great images – and we want to see how you’ve mastered it. Show us photographs where light plays an essential role in shaping mood, form or texture. Whether natural or artificial, soft or dramatic, lighting should enhance a subject and highlight photographic control.

Wildlife

We’re looking for wildlife images that celebrate the natural world in all its wonder. From the quiet intensity of a predator’s gaze to a candid moment in the daily life of a garden visitor, your entry should be technically strong, well composed and showcase behaviour, character or habitat with flair.
