Title: A stab in the dark
Description: On a winter morning, a little egret fishes in a shallow canal in my local park. These birds are rare visitors here so I approached carefully as close as I could get without spooking the egret. The bright morning light, coupled with a shadowed area behind the bird, created this stark contrast of black and white and highlighted the droplets of water created by the fishing egret. -

Title: Feast of colour
Description: This photo was my ray of sunshine during the exam period. The table I sit at for revising overlooks a patio with lots of flowers around the edge. I'd spotted this hummingbird hawk-moth a few times before but on previous occasions I'd either been too steeped in revision or by the time I'd got outside with my camera the moth had disappeared. This time when I saw it I dropped my revision (literally) and raced out with my camera. The morning light was just hitting the lawn behind making a beautiful bright backdrop to frame the hummingbird hawk-moth against. -

Title: Breathing dawn
Description: I took this photo at dawn on a spring morning in the New Forest National Park. The combination of cold air, early morning light and mist made it appear as though this Highland cow was breathing fire.
