About this title

Review:

Wildlife Photographer of the Year is a magnificent collection of 115 pictures and comprises the winning and commended photographs from the BG Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition, representing the work of amateur and professional photographers from around the world. Each turn of the page will astonish you with the glory, beauty, and fragility of the natural world. The competition and the book itself are divided into categories such as Animal Behaviour, the Underwater World, In Praise of Plants, Animal Portraits, Wild Places, the World in Our Hands, and, of course, the terrific images from the Young Wildlife Photographers of the Year. Readers can't help but marvel at images of a blue whale mother and her calf migrating northwards along the west coast of America, or be impressed by the magnificent sight of a bull moose in the burning sunset of an Alaskan evening, be chilled at the grotesque pose of a lion holding a doomed zebra foal, or be horrified at a vivid street-level photo of green iguanas trussed and destined for curry in Guyana, South America. To deepen your appreciation of the images you see, each photograph is accompanied with information of what you are seeing and how these breathtaking shots were taken. As such as glorious celebration of the wonder and importance of nature, "Wildlife Photographer of the Year: Portfolio 11" is a wonderful gift for all the family.--Fiona Buckland
