PHOTOGRAPHERS from across Essex submitted their favourite images to the Essex Wildlife Trust photography competition last year, from tranquil landscapes to vivid action shots, the Trust’s 2020 competition showcased just how connected everyone remained with wildlife and nature, even amidst national lockdowns.
The image that not only impressed the judges but won the public vote this month, was the entrancing shot of a red fox appearing from the dark shrubbery submitted to the ‘Gardener’s World’ category by Julie Levere.
Julie Levere, the overall winner of the photography competition, said: “I’m astounded to have been crowned the overall winner of the Essex Wildlife Trust Photography Competition, as I was up against some truly talented photographers in all categories. We have some beautiful wildlife in our country and now is the best time to embrace it.”
