CONGRATULATIONS RYAN LEITH

We are delighted to announce that Ryan has won our 2023 photography competition with his photograph –

Spyhopping Orca.

The image was taken in Shetland waters and Ryan says it was just one of those perfect moments.

Ryan said, “Very pleased to have won the competition, thanks to everyone who took the time to vote. The other photos in the final, taken by Pete and Matthew, were excellent. A great result from a very memorable encounter.”

We had over 100 entries to the competition that we ran at the end of 2023, with some stunning images. We narrowed it down to just 3 finalists and put it to the public vote over the weekend of 20th January.
