Very happy to have been informed my image "Fishing for Breakfast" is to be included in the British Wildlife Photography Awards Collection 13 book. Will have to wait till March to see if I've won or been commended but just getting in the book is incredible. #BWPA 📷📷📷

I hadn't realised quite how tricky it would be to pick my #Sharemondays2025 favourites - so many wonderful images I had to leave out, sorry to disappoint.
My top 4 - congrats to @bulloch.photography, @oleadam.bsky.social, @pjpoppins.bsky.social, @dammo.bsky.social.
A few thoughts in the ALT text.
Love this view into an imaginary world - an image full of rich tones and textures. One of those images I just had to include for the way it captures the speed and adrenaline through the mud and chippings flying up at the lens Beautiful colours and patterns that draw me into the tree behind. So much captured in one image - lights, buildings, bustle, traffic, people, ... somehow all without looking messy.

Ok, I've debated with myself long enough. This weeks #Sharemondays2025 winner is @jillholl.bsky.social with this glorious ICM image. The soft complimenting tones just ooze optimism for me and in these dark winter evenings, it's exactly what I needed.

Congratulations Jill and over to you next week.
The tones in this image work so well for me, soft and complimentary. The ICM feature, positioned perfectly, has just enough detail to pull me in through the soft mist like surrounds.

And this week's winner of #ShareMondays2025 is @dylannardini.com.

I'm about to book a trip to NW Scotland, so I think I'm in the mood for some Scottish loveliness. Love the glimmer of light on the rocks. Congrats Dylan, another lovely image :)
Sunlight illuminates some rocks on a hill with autumnal vegetation and trees. A valley in the distance is filled with low cloud. Above a shallow-sloped mountain covered in snow sits, with some moody pinkish grey light above.

Lovely drone view above bridges above the cloud by Scott. Beautiful Scottish winter scene from Dylan. Another drone shot - this time a lovely array of autumnal trees from Graeme. And look at those stars from Daniel!

As much as I dislike drones, I love the images that you can capture with them. If I had one, this is all I'd use it for. River deltas/estuaries are so fascinating when viewed from above; like here from this week's winner @sophiecarr.bsky.social
Congratulations Sophie, stunning!

Considering it's the middle of November, it's wonderful to see such vibrant colour and life in the beautiful flowers. It's a riot of reds of all descriptions, with such graceful tones and shapes. A joy to behold! A glorious abstract of one of the many Icelandic river estuaries. The wonderful shapes, patterns and colours are emphasised by the darker areas which give a natural frame to the scene. It has a fantasy, surreal element to it which gives it such intrigue. A elegant sunset from Assynt. A strong composition with beautiful late light warming the foreground rocks; the waves and lower rocks gently curve round providing a lovely lead to the lighthouse. The image is then balaced so well with the distant clouds and setting sun. Quite a chaotic scene for a portrait.....there's a lot going on with the grooming, the colours, the ropes & chains....but at the centre and beautifully framed by the chaos, is the bull. I wonder what he/she is thinking.....what's going on? What am I doing? Will I win? Fortunately it doesn't seem to be bothering him/her!
