Many congratulations go to Isabelle W (Year 10) and Annie S (Year 9) who have both won gold awards in a local Junior Wildlife Photography Competition.

Isabelle’s outstanding picture of a fallow deer won the section of the competition that covered animal photography. The judges particularly liked the framing of the subject with the deer looking directly at the camera and framed beautifully by the surrounding grass.

Annie’s terrific close up of aphids on a seed head won the plant photography section. The judges were particularly impressed by the sharpness of the image which shows beautifully the hairs on the bud and stem.

The Junior Wildlife Photo Competition, which attracted 79 entries from young people aged between 9 and 16 was organised by Prestwood Nature, the Nature Conservation Group for the area around Prestwood, including Great Missenden, The Hampdens, The Kingshills, North Dean and Speen. Prestwood Nature aims to protect and enhance the quality of the natural environment through the involvement of local people.

Annie also gained a silver award for a very colourful photograph of a bee on a cornflower. The judges liked the sharpness and detail of both the flower and the bee.

Also to be commended is Heather N (Year 11) who obtained a silver award for a dramatic photograph of a red kite swooping over a field. The judges were very impressed by the detail in the bird’s face that has been captured by this photo. The face-on view gives it a real sense of action.
