1st Place and Honorable Mention Award at Monochrome Photography Awards 2021

It’s a fantastic start to the photo year to win first place in the Monochrome Photography Awards in the UK! The picture of the mountain hares fighting in the arctic winter in Røros in Norway became the Wildlife Category Winner. In addition, my image of the Long-eared Owl taken in Østerdalen received an Honorable Mention Award.

 

Thanks to Erlend Hårberg and Ingvild Eiring, respectively!

Congratulations to my photo friends Bence Mate, Xavier Ortega, Wenche Dahle, Aleksander Myklebust, and Øyvind Pedersen, who also received Highly Commended awards in the Wildlife category.
