Wildlife photography takes such patience, skill and expert timing. This image shows all three qualities. The framing of the subject matter is strong, dynamic and striking. We are drawn immediately to the piercing eye of the bird, perfectly contrasted with the colours that clash nearby. We see texture and detail. There is a cold intensity about the subject matter that draws us in to this photograph.

***This contest is open to subscribers (members on the Challenger, Pro and Master subscription tiers). However if you're not a paying subscriber you can still purchase entries for £2 (GBP) per image.*** Multi-coloured photos introduce many competing visual stimulants to a photo and can easily result in a composition that feels overwhelming or confused. Skilled photographers, however, can combine these different, sometimes clashing, shades to benefit the photo as a whole. Are you able to strike the balance between bright and engaging and ‘just too much’?
