Photo by Curious Hare wins Nature Photographer of the Year 2020
The German Society for Nature Photography (GDT) has unveiled this year’s winner GDT nature photographer of the year: a stunning collection of images of the natural world ranging from wildlife, landscape to “water”, which received a special category all its own this year.
The news was published on April 27 after GDT completed its first online election campaign.
The title Overall Winner and Nature Photographer of the Year went to the winner in the mammal category: the photographer Peter Lindel from Dortmund in Germany. His photograph of a European hare has been taken near a home, making it much more influential for judges accustomed to seeing wildlife photographs from “international nature photography areas.”
“This picture Dream hare was taken in July 2019 when months of searching for a suitable place led me to a gravel road that offered the most beautiful morning light, the wonderful vegetation and … three hairs, “recalls Lindel. “Dreamy, curious, cautious, nervous. These are the adjectives that I think best describe the expression “my hare”. ”
