A fabulous action shot, this image of a wagtail in action is truly compelling and perfectly exposed and composed - it's pin-sharp. Absolutely wonderful work.

Bird photography is very challenging, no matter the setting, but you don't need to make life harder for yourself by travelling further afield than necessary. You can capture stunning images of birds in the confines of your back garden or local park. We want to see your best photos of birds, in flight or feeding.

This is wonderfully artistic, and a great example of how thinking outside the box can really result in incredible images. It works perfectly in black and white.
