The winning photograph
16-year-old Christopher Page was named the winner
of the award earlier this year by the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust
(GWCT) and I had the pleasure of presenting him with his trophy the other day. The Julian Gardner Award is named in honour of the East Sussex
farmer who was tragically murdered while defending his property in 2010. Julian was a life long supporter of the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust.
Christopher's winning photograph depicts an
atmospheric woodland scene bathed in soft golden sunlight and autumnal
colours. It was taken at the Polesdon Lacey estate in Surrey while
Christopher was 15, and entered into the 16-and-under category of
the Julian Gardner Award. Christopher's talents have also been recognised
by The Sunday Times Magazine, who made the same photograph one of the finalists
in their Take a View Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards 2013.
Christopher said, "I particularly enjoy
taking photographs of landscapes. I love the way it makes you really look at
the detail."
Why don't you think of entering this competition?
