There were four categories in the competition: Community Life, Flowers and Plants, Wildlife and Landscape. A judging panel picked a winner from each category and a public poll was held to find an overall winner. The photo first won its category in the Wildlife section and went on to be voted as the overall winner.
David said, "I've been taking photos as a hobby for over 30 years, but it's only recently since I retired that I've been able to do it more frequently. I feel over the moon to have won the competition as I've had lots of positive comments about my photographs, but I've never won anything before. I'll definitely be entering more competitions in the future!"
As the competition winner, David received £500 which he intends to donate to the following charities:
- Chowbent Chapel Restoration Fund
- Leigh Ornithological Society Conservation Fund
- BBC Children In Need
So, well done to David, I'm sure you'll all agree it's a superb photograph and a deserving winner.
