CATEGORY WINNER 2017, BLACK AND WHITE
Photographer Eilo spotted a polar bear and her cub from the deck of a ship anchored off Svalbard, Norway. Attracted to a patch of snow soaked in leakage from the vessel's kitchen, the pair of bears came closer to taste test. Eilo's closely framed shot is in black and white to ‘reflect the pollution as a shadow cast on the pristine environment’.
